Question

Is elastic modulus the same as stiffness?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. The elastic modulus measures a material's stiffness, although strength is a consequence of it.
2. The resistance of an item to elastic deformation is measured by its stiffness.
3. The material's strength indicates how much force it can withstand before irreversible deformation or breakage

Hence, the elastic modulus is the same as the stiffness.
