What is the elastic modulus of steel?

Answer:

The general definition of the modulus of elasticity is that the stresses in the one-way stress state are divided by the strain in that direction.
When the material is in the elastic deformation stage, its stress and strain should be changed into a positive proportion (that is to say, according to Hooke's law), and the coefficient of proportionality is called the elastic modulus. The elastic modulus of the unit is dyne per square centimeter. "Modulus of elasticity" is a physical quantity describing the elasticity of matter. It is a general term. It can be expressed as "Young's modulus", "bulk modulus" and so on.When it is difficult to cause confusion, the modulus of elasticity of a general metallic material refers to Young's modulus, i.e., positive modulus of elasticity.Unit: E (elastic modulus) MPa (MPa)
