Coefficient of stiffness from area and length¶

The stiffness coefficient depends on the Young’s modulus, cross-sectional area and length. Young’s modulus is a tabular value that is different for each material.

stiffness¶

The stiffness coefficient of the material.

Symbol:: k
Latex:: \(k\)
Dimension:: force/length

young_modulus¶

The young_modulus of the material.

Symbol:: E
Latex:: \(E\)
Dimension:: pressure

area¶

The cross-sectional area of the object.

Symbol:: A
Latex:: \(A\)
Dimension:: area

length¶

The length of the object.

Symbol:: l

law¶

k = E * A / l

Latex:: \[k = \frac{E A}{l}\]
