Modulus of Elasticity … In the simplest terms, the modulus of elasticity (MOE) measures a wood’s stiffness, and is a good overall indicator of its strength.

Modulus of Elasticity Test of Plywood
Elasticity implies that deformations produced by low stressbelow the proportional limit are completely recoverableafter loads are removed. When loaded to stress levels abovethe proportional limit, plastic deformation or failure occurs.Typically, the stress–strain curve for wood-based composites is linear below the proportional limit. The slope of thelinear curve is the MOE. In compression or tensile tests, thisslope is sometime referred to …
