elasticity modulus
[ɪˌlæstɪˈsɪti ˈmɑːdʒələs]
nounpl: elasticity moduli
módulo de elasticidade
1. A measure of a material's resistance to elastic deformation; the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic limit
The elasticity modulus of steel is much higher than that of rubber, making steel more rigid.
O módulo de elasticidade do aço é muito maior do que o da borracha, tornando o aço mais rígido.
2. Young's modulus or other moduli (shear modulus, bulk modulus) that quantify elastic properties of materials
Engineers calculate the elasticity modulus to predict how materials will deform under load.
Os engenheiros calculam o módulo de elasticidade para prever como os materiais se deformarão sob carga.
This is a fundamental concept in engineering education and industrial application across both Brazil and the USA. It is essential terminology in civil engineering, materials science, and mechanical engineering disciplines. The concept is universally standardized in technical documentation and academic curricula in both countries.
