An elastic modulus is a quantity that describes an object's or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically (i.e., non-permanently) when a stress is applied to it. == Definition == The elastic modulus of an object is defined as the slope of its stress–strain curve in the elastic deformation region; a stiffer material will have a higher elastic modulus.
