Definitions:

Standard Deviation

A measure of the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values, widely used in finance to assess the volatility of an investment.

Volatility

Volatility refers to the degree of variation of a trading price series over time, typically measured by the standard deviation of returns.

Section Modulus

A geometric property of a cross section, relevant in the design and analysis of beams, that reflects its capacity to resist bending.

Tensile Strength

The highest stress that a material can withstand without separating; expressed in psi. In steels, tensile strength typically exceeds yield strength by about 10 percent.
