Hi there... Just wondering if anyone can help me with a little problem I'm having.
I'm doing some material studies on a Silicone based RTV and I have a Young's Modulus value of 107 GPa. Now here's my question... Can I use the offset method to find the yield strength of this material? That is, can I offset the stress curve by 0.2% to find the yeild strength for this material? If so, how would I actually go about doing that? Just multipy the young's modulus value by 0.2? Something like this?
107x0.2=x; x+107=y
Any help is appreciated.
