   d8Modulus \[d8]Mod"u*lus\, n.; pl. {Moduli}. [L., a small
      measure. See {Module}, n.] (Math., Mech., & Physics)
      A quantity or coefficient, or constant, which expresses the

      elasticity, strength, efficiency, etc.; a parameter.
  
      {Modulus of a machine}, a formula expressing the work which a
            given machine can perform under the conditions involved in
            its construction; the relation between the work done upon
            a machine by the moving power, and that yielded at the
            working points, either constantly, if its motion be
            uniform, or in the interval of time which it occupies in
            passing from any given velocity to the same velocity
            again, if its motion be variable; -- called also the
            efficiency of the machine. --Mosley. --Rankine.
  
      {Modulus of a system of logarithms} (Math.), a number by

      {Modulus of elasticity}.
      (a) The measure of the elastic force of any substance,
            expressed by the ratio of a stress on a given unit of the
            substance to the accompanying distortion, or strain.
      (b) An expression of the force (usually in terms of the
            height in feet or weight in pounds of a column of the
            same body) which would be necessary to elongate a
            prismatic body of a transverse section equal to a given
            unit, as a square inch or foot, to double, or to compress
            it to half, its original length, were that degree of
            elongation or compression possible, or within the limits
            of elasticity; -- called also {Young's modulus}.
  
      {Modulus of rupture}, the measure of the force necessary to
            break a given substance across, as a beam, expressed by
            eighteen times the load which is required to break a bar
            of one inch square, supported flatwise at two points one
            foot apart, and loaded in the middle between the points of
            support. --Rankine.
