Is the modulus of rigidity of steel or aluminium more elastic?
Aluminium has a modulus of elasticity of 70 GPA, while the modulus of rigidity of steel has a modulus of 190–210 GPA. As a result of its higher Young modulus of elasticity, the modulus of rigidity of steel is more elastic than aluminium. As a result, aluminium has a higher rigidity than the modulus of rigidity of steel and is also more brittle.
