Hi,
does higher young modulus means higher rigidity of a solide?

Young's modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity, is a measure of the stiffness or rigidity of a material. It is defined as the ratio of the stress applied to a material to the resulting strain, and is typically denoted by the symbol E.
Young's modulus is determined by conducting a tensile test on a material, in which a sample is pulled in opposite directions until it reaches its breaking point. The resulting stress and strain data is then used to calculate the modulus of elasticity.
Young's modulus is an important material property as it allows engineers to predict how a material will behave under different types of loading. It is used in the design and analysis of structures, as well as in material selection for different applications.
Young's modulus is a measure of a material's resistance to tensile or compressive forces, while shear modulus is a measure of its resistance to shear or torsional forces. In other words, Young's modulus describes how a material responds to forces that act along its length, while shear modulus describes how it responds to forces that act perpendicular to its length.
Yes, Young's modulus can change under different conditions such as temperature, strain rate, and environmental factors. For example, some materials become stiffer at higher temperatures, while others become more pliable. Additionally, Young's modulus can also vary depending on the direction in which the force is applied, as some materials have anisotropic properties.
