Mechanical anisotropy

when a material exhibits different mechanical properties in different directions.

Modulus of elasticity

is the ratio of the unit stress to the unit strain 

Modulus of elasticity in shear

it The ratio of the shear stress  to the shear strain 

Modulus of Resilience

 is a material property and a measure of the energy a material can contain. It is the area under the stress-strain diagram up to the proportional limit.

Moment of inertia of а finite area about any axis

 is given by the summation of the moments of inertia about that same axis of аll of the elements of area contained in the finite area
