Descriptor English: Elastic Modulus
Descriptor Spanish: Módulo de Elasticidad
Descriptor módulo de elasticidad
Entry term(s) módulo de Young
Scope note: Expresión numérica que indica la medida de dureza de un material. Se define como la relación del estrés en una unidad de área del material frente a la deformación resultante (tensión). De esta manera es posible calcular el comportamiento de un material bajo presión (por ejemplo un hueso).

Tree number(s): G01.374.590.605
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D055119
Scope note: Numerical expression indicating the measure of stiffness in a material. It is defined by the ratio of stress in a unit area of substance to the resulting deformation (strain). This allows the behavior of a material under load (such as bone) to be calculated.
Allowable Qualifiers: DE drug effects
PH physiology
RE radiation effects
