What is a high modulus of elasticity?


Open in App
Solution

  1. The ratio of stress to strain is known as the modulus of elasticity.
  2. The mathematical expression for modulus of elasticity:
    modulusofelasticity=stressstrainE=σε
  3. The Modulus of elasticity is the measure of the stiffness of a material.
  4. The higher the modulus of elasticity more resistant the material will give to deform the it within the elastic range.
  5. Higher the modulus of elasticity stiffer the material is.
