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.
