modulus of elasticity

EK245

The modulus of elasticity is a measure of stiffness, or the resistance of the material to deformation.

EK244

The modulus of elasticity can be defined as the change of stress with respect to strain in the elastic range.

EK68

When the material of a structural component is stressed beyond its elastic limit, the stress will seize to be proportional to the strain, Hooke’s law will no longer apply, and […]
