Chapter 2, Problem 2.46P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for considering the modulus of elasticity as a structure-intensitive property needs be explained.

Concept introduction:

When a stress is placed on a material along any axis, the material has a tendency to resist deformation along the same axis. The measurement of the tendency is said to be the modulus of elasticity in that axis.

Normally, if a materal has to perform at any point, this tendency of not to deform under stress shall be important according to the conditions of usage. So the user/designer needs to know about this property in details.
