What is Elastic Modulus?
What
Elastic modulus shows how stiff a material is. It tells us how much a material will stretch when we pull it.
Why
Engineers use it to pick the right materials for buildings, bridges, and machines. It helps make things safe and strong.
Units
We measure it in GPa, MPa, or PSI. Steel has high elastic modulus. Rubber has low elastic modulus.
Common Examples
Steel
200 GPa (very stiff)
Used in buildings and bridges
Aluminum
70 GPa (medium stiff)
Used in cars and planes
Wood
12 GPa (less stiff)
Used in furniture and houses
Concrete
30 GPa (medium stiff)
Used in roads and buildings
Plastic
3 GPa (flexible)
Used in bottles and toys
Rubber
0.01 GPa (very flexible)
Used in tires and seals

Frequently Asked Questions
What is elastic modulus in simple words?
Elastic modulus tells us how stiff a material is. High numbers mean the material is hard to stretch. Low numbers mean it stretches easily.
How do I convert GPa to MPa?
To convert GPa to MPa, multiply by 1000. For example: 2 GPa = 2 × 1000 = 2000 MPa.
What materials have high elastic modulus?
Steel (200 GPa), diamond (1000 GPa), and tungsten (400 GPa) have very high elastic modulus. They are very stiff materials.
Why do engineers care about elastic modulus?
Engineers use elastic modulus to pick the right materials. They need to know how much things will bend or stretch under load.
What is the difference between GPa and PSI?
GPa and PSI are both units for measuring stiffness. GPa is metric (used worldwide). PSI is imperial (used in USA). 1 GPa = 145,038 PSI.
Can elastic modulus change with temperature?
Yes, most materials become less stiff when heated. Steel becomes softer at high temperatures. This is why hot metal is easier to shape.
