What is the difference between elastic modulus and tensile modulus, and how do they compare in terms of material properties?

Elastic modulus and tensile modulus both measure a material's stiffness, but they do so in different ways. Elastic modulus measures a material's resistance to deformation under a specific load, while tensile modulus measures its resistance to stretching or pulling. In terms of material properties, elastic modulus is more commonly used and provides a general measure of a material's stiffness, while tensile modulus is more specific to how a material responds to tension.
