A00068.gifPractical design (Topic: 12007)

The Young's modulus, E, is practically the same for all aluminium alloys used in structural applications:

E = 70 000 MPa

When designing a structural element, it is often the maximum allowable deflection or the stability of the element which is governing.

For all structural elements having requirement to maximum deflection, start the calculation with checking the deflection.
