Young's Modulus of an Element

Young's modulus is a material property that describes the stiffness of a material when subjected to deformation.  It is defined as the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic limit.  Different materials have different Young's modulus values, reflecting their varying degrees of stiffness.  For example, metals tend to have high Young's modulus values, indicating that they are stiff and resist deformation under applied stress.  In contrast, materials with lower Young's modulus values are more flexible and deform more easily under stress.

It's important to note that Young's modulus is applicable only within the elastic limit of a material, where deformation is reversible.  Beyond this limit, if the material undergoes plastic deformation, the relationship between stress and strain may change, and the material may not return to its original shape.
