Modulus of elasticity |
| Back to Case study | |
| Modulus of elasticity Lesson/Tutorial | This quantity describes the stiffness of a material. A very stiff material like steel girders in a building has a high Modulus of Elasticity. It will not permanently deform or change its shape when under a heavy load. Gold is soft and has a low Modulus of Elasticity. The building would collapse if made of gold. |
