Modulus of elasticity: The ratio of the stress applied to a body to the strain those results in the body in response to it. The modulus of elasticity of a material is a measure of its stiffness and for most materials remains constant over a range of stress. . Material | Elastic Modulus | | MPa | psi | Steel | 200‚000 | 30‚000‚000 | Poisson ratio It is the negative ratio of transverse to axial strain. In fact‚ when a sample object is stretched (or squeezed)‚ to an extension (or contraction)
