Young model

The term "Young model" can refer to a couple of concepts, depending on the context. However, one of the most common references is to **Young's modulus**, which is a fundamental property in materials science and mechanical engineering. **Young's Modulus** is a measure of the stiffness of a solid material. It quantifies the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material that is linearly elastic.
