What is the difference between flexural modulus and elastic modulus?
I think you are refering to the 'section modulus' which is a geometrical property of a cross section. it is the moment of inertia divided by the distance from the centroid or neutral axis to the farthest point of the section. this modulus measures flexural resistance.
What is the Young's modulus of brick?
It is the tensile stregth of brick determined from a flexural test.
Is tensile modulus the same as young's modulus?
Yes, indeed. Sometimes tensile modulus is different from flexural modulus, especially for composites. But tensile modulus and elastic modulus and Young's modulus are equivalent terms.
Is ultimate flexural strength and moment of resistance the same in a reinforced section?
No the moment of resistance is a defining parameter that can be used to calculate the stress in a cross section of a given material that is subject to flexural loading. The ultimate flexural strength is a numerical value of stress at which the material will crack, tear, rip etc. Think about ultimate tensile strength and the value of Young's Modulus. Young's Modulus is not defined at the point of 'necking' and therefore the ultimate tensile strength cannot be computed from Young's Modulus and Hook's Law, but the UTS is an empirically defined value.
What is the types of modulus of elasticity?
1. Young's modulus of elasticity, E, also called elastic modulus in tension 2. Flexural modulus, usually the same as the elastic modulus for uniform isotropic materials 3. Shear modulus, also known as modulus of rigidity, G ; G = E/2/(1 + u) for isotropic materials, where u = poisson ratio 4. Dynamic modulus 5. Storage modulus 6. Bulk modulus The first three are most commonly used; the last three are for more specialized use
