Form Factor of Flat Rings

详细

Calculation results are presented for the form factor of a flat ring in a linear formulation of the theory of elasticity. The form factor accounts for the influence of the sample dimensions and Poisson’s ratio on the modulus of elasticity being measured. The two-dimensional problem of elastic deformation of a ring with boundary conditions specified for its entire surface was solved. Six flat rings of various sizes were made and their modulus of elasticity was measured to validate the results of calculations. The dispersion of values of Young’s modulus, corrected by the calculated form factor, did not exceed 2.5%, which corresponds to the range of error of measurement methods for the modulus of elasticity.
