Modulus of Resilience Equation and Calculator

Resilience is the ability of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically, and release that energy upon unloading. Proof resilience is defined as the maximum energy that can be absorbed within the elastic limit, without creating a permanent distortion. The modulus of resilience is defined as the maximum energy that can be absorbed per unit volume without creating a permanent distortion. It can be calculated by integrating the stress-strain curve from zero to the elastic limit.

Eq. 1

$U_r=\frac{{\sigma }^2}{2·E}$ = ${\sigma }_y·\frac{{\epsilon }_y}{2}$

Where :

U_r = The modulus of resilience (J/m³)
σ_y = The uniaxial tensile yield strength (Pa)
E = Young's modulus (Pa)
ε_y = strain (unit/unit)
