Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The modulus of elasticity is commonly known as Young's modulus, named after the British scientist Thomas Young, who first introduced the concept in 1807. Hooke's modulus is used to describe the elasticity of materials exhibiting Hookean behavior (linear elasticity), while Newton's modulus and Rockwell's modulus are not widely used terms in materials science.
