English term or phrase: inequimodulus
I need a term to describe the property of a material to have different moduli of elasticity in tension and compression.

The Russian language uses a single word for this notion (raznomodul'nyi), from which I've constructed an English equivalent:
inequimodulus (material).

Dear native speakers, how does this word sound to your ears? Could you propose smth different?

Selected answer:heteroelastic
Explanation:
This term appears to be used in real life. I'd recommond it instead of 'heteromodular', because the key aspect is the elasticity (the modulus of elasticity is just a measure of the elasticity), and 'heteromodular' would more likely be understood to mean 'having different modes' instead of 'having different moduli'.

Sorry, that should read 'having different modules' or 'being composed of different types of modules'.

variable moduli


Explanation:
Another suggestion. If you want a "made up" word, try "varimodular" but I don't think it really exists. Good luck.

heteromodular


Explanation:
This is also an invention by Russian scientists/translators but it is found in a number of articles and sounds more like a legit word
