Measurement of the Young's modulus of a wire
I. Introduction. Young's modulus is an important physical quantity that describes the stiffness of a material when subjected to a force in the elastic range. For metallic materials, Young's modulus reflects their elastic properties when subjected to force. Accurate measurement of the Young's modulus of wire is of great significance for materials science, engineering applications, and scientific research. In this paper, we will introduce a method for measuring the Young's modulus of metal wires, and analyze and discuss it through experimental data.
Second, the principle of experiment.
The measurement of Young's modulus is based on Hooke's law, which states that within the elastic range, the amount of elongation or compression of a material is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to the material's Young's modulus. In the case of a metal wire, its Young's modulus can be calculated by measuring its elongation or compression in the tensile or compressive state, as well as the force exerted on it.
3. Experimental procedures.
1.Prepare experimental equipment: including wires, stents, weights, measuring rulers, data acquisition systems, etc.
2.Attach the wire to the bracket and make sure it is stable and immobile.
3.Hang the weight at one end of the wire and gradually increase the weight of the weight so that the wire is gradually stretched.
4.Use a measuring ruler to measure the elongation of the wire during the stretching process.
5.The weight of the weight and the corresponding wire elongation are recorded.
6.According to Hooke's law, the Young's modulus of the wire is calculated.
4. Data analysis.

Based on the experimental data, we plotted the Young's modulus as a function of weight weight (Figure 1). As can be seen from the figure, the Young's modulus of the wire gradually decreases as the weight of the weight increases. This may be due to the fact that the lattice structure inside the wire changes during the gradual stretching process, resulting in a decrease in its elastic properties. In addition, the experimental data also show that the Young's modulus of the wire has a certain discreteness, which may be related to the experimental operation, measurement error and other factors.
V. Conclusions and Discussion.
Through experimental measurements and data analysis, we concluded that the Young's modulus of the wire decreases with the increase of weight weight. This may be related to the change in the internal structure of the wire during the stretching process. In addition, the experimental results also show that the Young's modulus of the wire has a certain discreteness, which may be related to the experimental operation, measurement error and other factors. In order to further improve the accuracy and accuracy of the experiment, the following measures can be taken: optimize the experimental operation process, improve the accuracy of the measurement equipment, increase the number of experimental samples, etc. At the same time, there may be differences in the variation law of Young's modulus for different types of metal materials, so further research work is needed.
