Young’s Modulus (also referred to as the Elastic Modulus or Tensile Modulus), is a measure of mechanical properties of linear elastic solids like rods, wires, and such. Other numbers measure the elastic properties of a material, like Bulk modulus and shear modulus, but the value of Young’s Modulus is most commonly used. This is because it gives us information about the tensile elasticity of a material (ability to deform along an axis).

Young’s modulus describes the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation in an object). The Young’s modulus is named after the British scientist Thomas Young. A solid object deforms when a particular load is applied to it. The body regains its original shape when the pressure is removed if the object is elastic. Many materials are not linear and elastic beyond a small amount of deformation. The constant Young’s modulus applies only to linear elastic substances.

What are the different types of modulus elasticity?

there are different types of modulus it depends on what types of stress is acting on the material if its direct stress then then there is modulus of elasticity,if tis shear stress then its modulus of rigidity and when its volumetric stress it is bulk modulus and so on

What is the material poisson ratio of Epdm?

Depends on the hardness of the formulation. Poisson's ratio depends mainly on the bulk modulus and slightly on the Youngs modulus at very low strains for the subject compound. If the Youngs modulus lies between 0.92 and 9.40MN/m², Poisson's ratio lies between 0.49930 and 0.49993.

What is the amount of stress applied to a material divided by the elastic strain caused by that stress called?

This is known as the Modulus of Elastisity, or Youngs Modulus (in tension/compression) and will be a constant as long as the deformation is in the elastic range.
