MeSH Heading: Elastic Modulus
Tree Number(s): G01.374.590.605
Unique ID: D055119
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D055119
Scope Note: Numerical expression indicating the measure of stiffness in a material. It is defined by the ratio of stress in a unit area of substance to the resulting deformation (strain). This allows the behavior of a material under load (such as bone) to be calculated.
Entry Term(s): Modulus of Elasticity; Young Modulus; Young's Modulus
