elastic modulus

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

elastic modulus

 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/m2), dyne/cm2, or lbs per sq in. (psi). See also elasticity.

The aromatic oil appears to increase the elastic modulus and produce an even larger jump in the viscous modulus, thereby increasing tangent delta; while the TMTD primarily increases G', so that tangent delta is decreased.
