ASTM E111 Test for Young’s Modulus, Tangent Modulus, and Chord Modulus
ASTM E111 is used to determine Young's modulus, tangent modulus, and chord modulus of structural materials. This test method is limited to materials in which creep deformation is negligible compared to the strain (deformation) produced immediately upon loading. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
Scope:
ASTM E111 test method is used to determine the stress-strain curve of a material. A stress-strain curve gives the relationship between stress and strain, between load and deformation. These curves reveal many of the properties of a material, such as yield strength and Young’s modulus.
Linear stress-strain curve:
The solid material will undergo elastic deformation when a small load is applied. Elastic deformation is reversible, meaning that the material returns to its original shape after the load is removed.
At very low stress and strain, the stress-strain curve is linear, and the linear relationship between stress and strain is described by Hooke’s law which states stress is proportional to strain. The coefficient of proportionality is Young’s modulus. The higher the modulus, the more stress is needed to create the same amount of strain; an idealized rigid body will have an infinite Young’s modulus. Conversely, a very soft material such as fluid would deform without force and will have zero Young’s modulus. Not many materials are linear and elastic beyond a small amount of deformation.
Non-linear stress-strain curve:
For materials that follow nonlinear elastic stress-strain behavior, the value of tangent or chord modulus is useful in estimating the change in strain for a specified range in stress.
Test Procedure:
In the ASTM E111 test, the specimen is cleaned and measured. It is installed on the fixture. A uniaxial force is applied to the test specimen. The force and strain are measured, either incrementally or continuously. The axial stress is determined by dividing the indicated force by the specimen’s original cross-sectional area. The appropriate slope is then calculated from the stress-strain curve, which may be derived under conditions of either increasing or decreasing forces.

Specimen size:
For ASTM E111 testing, the specimen length should be greater than the minimum requirements for general-purpose specimens. The ratio of length to the cross-section of compression specimens should be such as to avoid buckling. For compression specimens, the ends should be flat, parallel, and perpendicular to the lateral surfaces.
Data:
The stress-strain diagram for a particular material is reported. Young’s modulus, tangent modulus, and chord modulus are derived from the stress-strain curve.

E = modulus of elasticity,
Conclusion:

ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
