Review
Rank the curves based on the elastic modulus of the materials represented.
Rank the curves from highest to lowest modulus. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
Learning Goal:
To identify the properties of a material from a stress-strain curve and understand how those properties are related to the deformation of a material due to load.
A stress-strain diagram provides substantial information about a material's mechanical properties. The figure ( Figure 1) shows four conventional (or engineering) stressstrain curves that exhibit properties of engineering

Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding Elastic Modulus
The elastic modulus (Young's modulus) is a measure of a material's stiffness. It represents the slope of the linear elastic region of the stress-strain curve. A steeper slope indicates a higher elastic modulus.
Step 2: Analyzing the Stress-Strain Curves
Curve 1 has the steepest slope in the elastic region.
Curve 2 has the next steepest slope, although less steep than curve 1.
Curve 3 has a shallower slope compared to curves 1 and 2.
Curve 4 has the shallowest slope, indicating the lowest elastic modulus.
Final Answer:
The ranking of the curves from highest to lowest elastic modulus is 1 > 2 > 3 > 4.
