How to Calculate and Solve for Resiliency | Fracture Mechanics

Last Updated on March 8, 2021

The image above represents resiliency.

To compute for resiliency, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Maximum Stress (σ_max) and Young’s Modulus of Elasticity (E).

The formula for calculating resiliency:

R = ^σ_max² / _2E

Where:

R = Resiliency
σ_max = Maximum Stress
E = Young’s Modulus of Elasticity

Let’s solve an example;
Find the resiliency when the maximum stress is 32 and the young’s modulud of elasticity is 12.

This implies that;

σ_max = Maximum Stress = 32
E = Young’s Modulus of Elasticity = 12

R = ^σ_max² / _2E
R = ^32² / ₂₍₁₂₎
R = ¹⁰²⁴ / ₂₄
R = 42.67

Therefore, the resiliency is 42.67 Pa.

Calculating the Maximum Stress when the Resiliency and the Young’s Modulus of Elasticity is Given.

σ_max = √R x 2E

Where;

σ_max = Maximum Stress
R = Resiliency
E = Young’s Modulus of Elasticity

Let’s solve an example;
Find the maximum stress when the resiliency is 15 and the young’s modulus of elasticity is 3.

This implies that;

R = Resiliency = 15
E = Young’s Modulus of Elasticity = 3

σ_max = √R x 2E
σ_max = √15 x 2 x 3
σ_max = √90
σ_max = 9.48

Therefore, the maximum stress is 9.48.

Calculating the Young’s Modulus of Elasticity when the Resiliency and the Maximum Stress is Given.

E = ^σmax² / _{R X 2}

Where;

E = Young’s Modulus of Elasticity
R = Resiliency
σ_max = Maximum Stress

Let’s solve an example;
Find the young’s modulus of elasticity when the resiliency is 18 and the maximum stress is 48.

This implies that;

R = Resiliency = 18
σ_max = Maximum Stress = 48

E = ^σmax² / _{R X 2}
E = ^48² / _{18 X 2}
E = ²³⁰⁴ / ₃₆
E = 64

Therefore, the young’s modulus of elasticity is 64.
