On gradual loading , stress - strain relationship for a metal wire is as follows . Within proportionality limit , stress prop strain or, "Stress"/"strain" = a constant for the material of wire. Two wires of same material have length and radius (L,r) and (2L , r/2) . The ratio of their young's modulii is

Stress to strain ratio is equivalent to

According to Hooke's law, within the elastic limit stress/strain = constant. This constant depends on the type of strain or the type of force acting. Tensile stress might result in compressional or elongative strain, however, a tangential stress can only cause a shearing strain. After crossing the elastic limit, the material undergoes elongation and beyond a stage beaks. All modulus of elasticity are basically constants for the materials under stress. If stress/strain is x in elastic region and y in the region of yield, then
