- Elastic Modulus (Young’s Modulus) helps assess strength in engineering and material science.
- Elastic Modulus (Young’s Modulus) measures material stiffness, showing stress–strain relationship.
Definition:
- The ratio of stress to strain in the elastic region of the stress-strain curve.
- Measured in Pascals (Pa or N/m²).
- High E = stiff material (resists elastic deformation).
- Low E = more flexible.
Relevance in Pharmaceutics:
- Determines how easily a powder bed will deform elastically before plastic deformation.
- Impacts tablet formation, mechanical strength, and friability.
