{{Stub}}

'''Young's modulus''' or '''Young modulus''' is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a [[solid]] material. It defines the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material in the linear elasticity regime of a uniaxial deformation. Unit of measurement is [[Pascal]] (Pa), MPa or GPa.
