Modulus division gives you the remainder when dividing. It is useful in computer programming. Let's say you are making a minesweeper clone. You have a 10x10 grid and each location is either a bomb or needs to know how many bombs are touching it. Now, locations in the middle have 8 neighbors to check, whereas locations on an edge have less. If you assign each location an index number from left to right and top to bottom (starting at 0 up to 99) such as:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39

40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49

50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59

60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69

70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79

80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89

90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99

then we can say x = index modulus 10;

if x equals 0 then we know we are looking at the leftmost column and should not try to check any neighbors to the left (as they don't exist and attempting to check them will cause errors)

otherwise if x equals 9 we know we are in the rightmost column and should not check on the right

otherwise if x is greater than 0 and less than 9 then we are somewhere in the middle

index modulus 10:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

It relates stress and strain.

If you know Young's modulus, the force applied and geometry of an object you are applying the force to. You can calculate how much the object will deform.

Why do some coins ring and others not?

Coins are made of different metals.Metals have their own characteristic modulus of elasticity.Due to this modulus(here Young's modulus)different metals have different frequency of vibration.some rings clearly and some others are low in sound.


What is the importance of section modulus?

Sectional modulus of any section determines the strength of a section, i.e. if two sections made up of same material then the section with higher section moduls will carry higher load as the allowable stress is constant for a given material. in analysis of it is useful in determining the maximum stress value to which the section is subjected when the moment is konwn from the relation f=(M/Z) where f= stress at extreem fibre M= maximum bending moment on section Z= section modulus = (moment of inertia/ distance of extreem fibre from NA)


Is there any rigidity modulus for fluids?

for an isotropic media you can divide the force on every element in two components. -bulk component -rigid component now bulk component is associated with bulk modulus and other is associated with modulus of rigidity(written as meu). now bulk component is the one which causes the matter to get compressed and the rigid component only changes the shape of the volume. now, water do not get compressed, it is incompressible and that's why the the force on it is affected by only the rigid component. thats why the modulus of rigidity is zero.

What is the material poisson ratio of Epdm?

Depends on the hardness of the formulation. Poisson's ratio depends mainly on the bulk modulus and slightly on the Youngs modulus at very low strains for the subject compound. If the Youngs modulus lies between 0.92 and 9.40MN/m², Poisson's ratio lies between 0.49930 and 0.49993.

This is known as the Modulus of Elastisity, or Youngs Modulus (in tension/compression) and will be a constant as long as the deformation is in the elastic range.
