Tensile Modulus Tensile modulus, also known as Young's modulus, measures a material's stiffness and resistance to deformation under tensile load. It is crucial for evaluating structural rigidity, flexibility, and load-bearing capacity. Tensile modulus is calculated from the slope of the stress-strain curve obtained through tensile testing. It influences part design, infill patterns, and layer orientations. Proper material selection and print settings ensure desired mechanical properties. Tensile modulus is essential for functional prototypes, mechanical components, and engineering applications requiring precise deformation control. |
