(Physics) the ratio of the applied stress to the change in shape of an elastic body.
1IHLSENG, MANGUS C.: On the modulus of elasticity of some American woods as determined by vibration.
2Three-point bending test also showed higher Young's modulus of elasticity in the netazepide KO group compared with control mice.
3Of course a wonderful agreement between the double-refined theory and test can generally be effected by "hunching" the modulus of elasticity to suit.
