The modulus of elasticity is defined as_______________?

Correct answer: C. The stress/strain ratio within the proportional limit

  • A. The stress at the proportional limit
  • B. The strain at the proportional limit
  • C. The stress/strain ratio within the proportional limit
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

Within the proportional limit, modulus of elasticity equals stress divided by strain, represented by the slope of the straight portion of the stress-strain curve. It is a measure of stiffness, not the stress or strain value alone.
