Resilience Modulus

Resilience modulus, abbreviated as \( \mu \) (Greek symbol mu), also called modulus of resilience, is the amount of energy a material can absorb and still return to its origional shape.

 

Resilience Modulus Formula
\(\large{ \mu = \frac{ \sigma^2 }{ 2 \; E }  }\)
Symbol	English	Metric
\(\large{ \mu }\)  (Greek symbol mu) = resilience modulus	\(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\)	\(\large{N}\)
\(\large{ \sigma }\)  (Greek symbol sigma) = yield strength	\(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\)	\(\large{Pa}\)
\(\large{ E }\) = Young's modulus	\(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\)	\(\large{N}\)
