Young’s Modulus testing is specifically designed for a material’s Young’s modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity. It is defined as the change in rate of strain in a material as a function of stress. It can be referred to as the tensile modulus if measured relative to tensile testing.

This test is made to determine a material’s behavior when an axial stretching load is applied. Young’s modulus is commonly reported as N/mm2 or PSI (force per unit area), which means its value is similar to the amount of pressure applied to the object. Most tensile strength testing machines provide equipment that allow for Young’s modulus testing.
