The elastic modulus (E) of a material represents the relative stiffness of the material within the elastic range and can be determined from a stress-strain curve by calculating the ratio of stress to strain.

see Modulus of Elasticity
Helpful?           0
The material property linking stress and strain. In PIM feedstock it also is important because it determines residual stress and the stress relaxation time in cooling.

Helpful?           0
One of several ratios equal to the stress in a material or object divided by its strain. Included are: Young's modulus, the bulk modulus, and the shear modulus.
