- Young's modulus
- shear modulus
This let us make make that the lightest weight, high modulus material.
- This let us make make that the lightest weight, high modulus material.
- And then now it has an elastic modulus because solid things have an elastic modulus, right?
Examples
-
Young's modulus can be estimated using the primary flexural modulus of the composite lay-up.

A 16-fold increase in the modulus was reported at a 10 percent strain level with maximal muscle contraction.
Academic text (1994) -
Well, this is a sort of Young modulus in the bulk.
-
From the section modulus, the required dimensions of the adjustment bar can be determined.
Academic text (1996) -
So I'm going to write the Young's modulus of the solid out in the front.
-
Therefore, the elastic modulus might have provided a more precise measurement for these curves.
Academic text (1991) -
In addition, the ultimate stress was found to be linearly proportional to the elastic modulus.
Academic text (1991) -
A modulus of 5.2 kPa was specified for skin, while a modulus of 131 kPa was specified for muscle.
Academic text (1993) -

Academic text (1995) -
In beam calculations, the modulus of elasticity is a measure of the stiffness of a material.

Etymology
Modulus comes from the Latin modus ('measure') and -ulus ('small'), so it basically means a 'measure'. In physics a modulus is the number that measures how stiff or elastic a material is, which is why it shows the material's resistance to change.
