1. elastic modulus

   Elastic modulus, also known as modulus of elasticity, is a parameter that measures the elasticity or resistance to deformation of a material when stress is applied. It represents the ratio between stress (force per unit area) and strain (deformation per unit length), stating how a material will deform under stress before it reaches its yield point and deforms permanently. The greater the elastic modulus, the stiffer the material is, and the less it will deform under stress. It is typically measured in Pascals (Pa).

1. Elastic modulus

   An elastic modulus, or modulus of elasticity, is the mathematical description of an object or substance's tendency to be deformed elastically when a force is applied to it. The elastic modulus of an object is defined as the slope of its stress–strain curve in the elastic deformation region: As such, a stiffer material will have a higher elastic modulus. where lambda is the elastic modulus; stress is the restoring force caused due to the deformation divided by the area to which the force is applied; and strain is the ratio of the change caused by the stress to the original state of the object. If stress is measured in pascals, since strain is a dimensionless quantity, then the units of λ are pascals as well. Since the denominator turns into unity if length is doubled, the elastic modulus becomes the stress induced in the material, when the sample of the material turns double of its original length on applying external force. While this endpoint is not realistic because most materials will fail before reaching it, it is practical, in that small fractions of the defining load will operate in exactly the same ratio. Thus, for steel with a Young's modulus of 30 million psi, a 30 thousand psi load will elongate a 1 inch bar by one thousandth of an inch; similarly, for metric units, a load of one-thousandth of the modulus will change the length of a one-meter rod by a millimeter.

1. Elastic Modulus

   Numerical expression indicating the measure of stiffness in a material. It is defined by the ratio of stress in a unit area of substance to the resulting deformation (strain). This allows the behavior of a material under load (such as bone) to be calculated.
