modulus of elasticity
modulus of elasticity n (General Physics) the ratio of the stress applied to a body or substance to the resulting strain within the elastic limit. Also called: elastic modulus See also Young's modulus, bulk modulus, modulus of rigidity Thesaurus| Noun | 1. |  modulus of elasticity - (physics) the ratio of the applied stress to the change in shape of an elastic bodycoefficient of elasticity, elastic modulusnatural philosophy, physics - the science of matter and energy and their interactions; "his favorite subject was physics"modulus - (physics) a coefficient that expresses how much of a specified property is possessed by a specified substancebulk modulus - the ratio of the change in pressure acting on a volume to the fractional change in volumemodulus of rigidity - the coefficient of elasticity for a shearing forceYoung's modulus - a coefficient of elasticity applicable to the stretching of a wire |

modulus of elasticity[′mäj·ə·ləs əv i‚las′tis·əd·ē] (mechanics) The ratio of the increment of some specified form of stress to the increment of some specified form of strain, such as Young's modulus, the bulk modulus, or the shear modulus. Also known as coefficient of elasticity; elasticity modulus; elastic modulus. modulus of elasticityIn an elastic material which has been subject to strain below its elastic limit, the ratio of the unit stress to the corresponding unit strain.modulus of elasticity
mo·du·lus of e·las·tic·i·tya coefficient expressing the ratio between stress per unit area acting to deform a body and the amount of deformation that results from it.modulus of elasticityThe ratio of a force applied to a material to the increment of change (e.g. increase in length; angular deformation) in that material. Materials with low modulus of elasticity are less resistant to stress, while materials with high modulus of elasticity resist stress and hold their shape better. The SI unit of modulus of elasticity E is the pascal (Pa). Examples: the modulus of elasticity of a PMMA contact lens is about 3000 MPa, it is around 0.4 to 1.5 MPa for silicone hydrogel lenses and 0.3 to 0.5 MPa for hydrogel lenses.
