Definitions
- An elastic modulus, or modulus of elasticity, is the mathematical description of an object or substance's tendency to be deformed elastically (not permanently) 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.
