how to find the exactly Young's modulus of an assembled model ?

[jcfhh]

Hi all,

I was given a 2-D tire model in abaqus. It consists of Bead, Cap ply, Steel belts, Rubber (tread), Rubber (sidewall). I want to know what the young's modulus of the whole tire is but I do not know how to. I can only find the young's modulus of all the components in the material section, but it does not provide the young's modulus of the assembled tire.
However, my lecturer told me that the value of E for the tire should have been calculated using Abaqus. Can someone please tell me how to find it? I would be very grateful.

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
Jay

That question makes no sense. It is similar senseless like "What's the youngs modulus of a car?"

Maybe stiffness is meant.

You need to go back and refer to a good book or talk to your colleagues/friends/instructors to correct some fundamental confusions.
