Young's modulus (E) describes tensile and compressive elasticity, or the tendency of an object to deform along an axis when opposing forces are applied along that axis; it is defined as the ratio of …

Tensile Modulus - or Young's Modulus alt. Modulus of Elasticity - is a measure of stiffness of an elastic material. It is used to describe the elastic properties of objects like wires, rods or columns when they …

Young’s modulus, or the modulus of elasticity, represents the stiffness of elastic materials. It is the ratio of longitudinal stress to strain and is denoted by ‘E’. Named after Thomas Young, this quantity is …

Jul 23, 2025 · Modulus of Elasticity or Elastic Modulus is the measurement of resistance offered by a material against the deformation force acting on it. Modulus of Elasticity is also called Young's …

Mar 20, 2022 · Young’s modulus (E) is the modulus of elasticity under tension or compression. In other words, it describes how stiff a material is or how readily it bends or stretches. Young’s modulus …

Young's modulus, or the modulus of elasticity, gauges how stiff a material is by comparing stress (force per unit area) to strain (deformation) within the material’s elastic range. A higher modulus means the …

Dec 13, 2025 · Sometimes referred to as the modulus of elasticity, Young’s modulus is equal to the longitudinal stress divided by the strain. Stress and strain may be described as follows in the case of …
