How the elastic modulus fits into the kinetic modulus. Download this article in .PDF format This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable.

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

The Kyoto team demonstrates that sperm tails use “odd elasticity,” breaking classical symmetry and increasing their propulsion.

The elastic modulus of the limbal ring increases with an increase in corneal modulus and rises to a peak when the ratio of scleral to corneal moduli is between 5 and 7 depending on corneal ...

In 1807, Thomas Young discovered that stress in a material (F/A) is linearly proportional to the strain (change in length/original length) in that material. This, in turn, led ...
