What is the Young’s Modulus or Modulus of Elasticity?

0

The Young’s Modulus (or Modulus of Elasticity) describes the limit for small strains of the rate of change of stress with strain a material is able to support. Many natural stones have a Modulus of Elasticity of around 50 Gpa (which translates to 50.000 N mm-2, depending on the stone), with pure Quartz reaching a Young’s Modulus of 71.7 GPa.
