applications of modulas of elasticity

As the term implies, "Modulus of Elasticity" basically relates to the elasticity or "flexibility" of a material. The value of modulus of elasticity are very much significant relating to deflection of certain materials used in the construction industry. Take for example the general E value of mild carbon steel is about 200 GPa compared to about 70 GPa for aluminum. This simply translate that aluminum is 3 times flexible than steel.

E=a constant of proportionality known as modulus of elasticity or young's modulus. numerically,it is that value of tensile stress,which when applied to a uniform bar will increase its length to double the original length if the material of the bar could remain perfectly elastic throughout such an excessive strain.
