(1) A coefficient or numerical measure of some property (2) In polymers, modulus usually refers to one of several measurements of stiffness or resistance to deformation The use of the word without modifying terms may be confusing and such use should not be encouraged Modulus in polyurethane may be either static or dynamic; static moduli are subdivided into tangent, chord, and compounder's Compounder's modulus is always in tension, but all the others may be in shear, compression or tension Other terms used in connection with "modulus" are elasticity, rigidity, Young's tangent, and elongation (3) All elastic moduli in rubber (except compounder's) are ratios of stress to the strain produced by that stress, the stress, usually p s i

A measure of the rigidity of metal Ratio of stress, within proportional limit, to corresponding strain Specifically, the modulus obtained in tension or compression is Young's modulus, stretch modulus or modulus of extensibility; the modulus obtained in torsion or shear is modulus of rigidity, shear modulus or modulus of torsion; the modulus covering the ratio of the mean normal stress to the change in volume per unit volume is the bulk modulus The tangent modulus and secant modulus are not restricted within the proportional limit; the former is the slope of the stress-strain curve at a specified point; the latter is the slope of a line from the origin to a specified point on the stress-strain curve Also called elastic modulus and coefficient of elasticity

An index of the stiffness of a material, applicable for example to the bending of a beam (see Young's Modulus); it is derived by measuring the elastic deformation of the material as it is placed under stress, and then dividing the stress by the deformation

Numerical constant that describes the elastic properties of a solid or fluid under pressure from all sides. It is the ratio of the tensile strength or compressive force per unit surface area to the change in volume per unit volume of the solid or fluid and thus is a measure of a substance's ability to resist deformation. Its units are newtons per square metre (N/m^2). Matter that is difficult to compress has a large bulk modulus; for example, steel has a bulk modulus of 1.6 10^11 N/m^2, three times that of glass (i.e., glass is three times more compressible than steel)
or elastic constant In materials science and physical metallurgy, any of various numbers that quantify the response of a material to elastic or springy deflection. When tensile stress is applied to a material, the resulting strain is determined by Young's modulus (see Thomas Young), a constant defined as the ratio of the stress in a body to the corresponding strain. It has dimensions of (force)/(length)^2 and is measured in units such as the pascal or newton per square meter (1 Pa = 1 N/m^2), dyne/cm^2, or lbs per sq in. (psi). See also elasticity
