Modulus of elasticity:
The modulus of elasticity (also known as the elastic modulus, the tensile modulus, or Young's
modulus) is a number that measures an object or substance's resistance to being deformed
elastically (i.e., non-permanently) when a force is applied to it.

Young's modulus, which is also known as the elastic modulus, is a mechanical property of
linear elastic solid materials. It defines the relationship between stress (force per unit area)
and strain (proportional deformation) in a material. The term modulus is the diminutive of the
Latin term modus which means measure.

Moment of inertia:
Moment of Inertia, I, is the property of an object associated with its resistance to rotation. It
depends on the objects mass and the distribution of mass with respect to the axis of rotation.
For any beam, the inertia is calculated based on the cross sectional shape and the thickness.
It does not depend on the length and material of the beam.

The shape of the stress/strain curve illustrated in figure is typical of many engineering
materials, and particularly of metals and alloys. In the context of biomechanics it is also
characteristic of bone. There is a linear portion between the origin O and the point Yp. In this
region the stress is proportional to the strain
