Shore durometer is in MPa. Another linear relation between the ASTM D2240 hardness value and material elastic modulus has the form where formula_14 is the ASTM D2240 type A hardness, formula_11 is the ASTM D2240 type D hardness, and formula_2 is the Young's modulus in MPa. Shore durometer The Shore durometer is a device for measuring the hardness of a material, typically of polymers, elastomers, and rubbers.. Higher numbers on the scale indicate a greater resistance to indentation and thus harder materials. Lower numbers indicate less resistance and softer materials. The term is also used to describe a material‘s rating on the
The Burning Shore The Burning Shore The Burning Shore is a novel by Wilbur Smith set during and after World War One. Smith called the book his "Road to Damascus" moment because it was the first time he used a female as a major character. It is one of the Courtney Novels.
