The modulus of elasticity is a characteristic that assesses a material's resistance to deformation under load.
The ratio of stress to strain is called the modulus of elasticity.
When a material is tugged, the modulus of elasticity, also known as Young's modulus, is the coefficient of proportionality between the "tensile stress" and the "strain"
A material with a greater elastic modulus has higher tensile stress or stiffness in general.
Materials having a low elastic modulus, on the other hand, are easily distorted.
Steel has a modulus of elasticity of .
We may assert that steel is more robust than wood or polystyrene by studying its modulus of elasticity since it has a propensity to flex under applied stress.
When employed as a segment, this value of steel's modulus of elasticity implies that it has a high bearing limit and can tolerate increased pressure.
