Modulus of Elasticity, Average Properties of Structural Materials, Shear Modulus, Poisson's Ratio, Density 

Modulus of Elasticity, is the mathematical description of an object or substance's tendency to be deformed elastically (i.e., non-permanently) when a force is applied to it. The elastic modulus of an object is defined as the slope of its stress-strain curve in the elastic deformation region:

Where:

λ (lambda) = Elastic Modulus
stress = Restoring force caused due to the deformation divided by the area to which the force is applied
strain = Ratio of the change caused by the stress to the original state of the object
