Question

are Young's modulus and the modulus of elasticity the same terms ?

Answer 1

Dear student,

Both modulus of elasticity and youngs modulus are same

The modulus of elasticity (also known as the elastic modulus, the tensile modulus, or Young's modulus) is a number that measures an object or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically (i.e., non-permanently) when a force is applied to it.

And in another words Young's modulus measures the resistance of a material to elastic (recoverable) deformation under load.

And a stiff material has a high Young's modulus and changes its shape only slightly under elastic loads (e.g. diamond). A flexible material has a low Young's modulus and changes its shape considerably (e.g. rubbers).
