Understanding Young's Modulus

Young's modulus is a crucial mechanical property in engineering, as it defines the stiffness of a material and tells us how much it will deform for an applied stress. In this video I take a detailed look at Young's modulus, starting with tensile tests and stress-strain curves, all the way through to what is happening at the atomic scale.
