Yes, modulus of elasticity is Young's modulus.

Here's some values for yield and ultimate strengths, from the same source. The book is very spotty with the values (i.e., some materials don't have all stats listed).

Structural steel
     Density: 7860 kg/m^3
     Ultimate tensile strength, tension: 400 MPa
     Yield strength, tension: 250 MPa
     Yield strength, shear: 145 MPa
Gray cast iron (listed as 4.5% carbon)
     Density: 7200 kg/m^3
     Ultimate tensile strength: 170 MPa
     Ultimate compression strength: 655 MPa
     Ultimate shear strength: 240 MPa
Malleable Cast Iron (2% carbon, 1% silicon) (ductility is listed as 20x that of gray cast iron and 1/2 steel, but I don't really have a baseline to go off of)
     Density: 7300 kg/m^3
     Ultimate Tensile strength: 345 MPa
     Ultimate Compression strength: 620 MPa
     Ultimate shear strength: 330 MPa
     Tensile yield strength: 230 MPa
     Modulus of elasticity: 165 GPa
     Modulus of rigidity: 65 GPa
Annealed copper
     Density: 8910 kg/m^3
     Ultimate tensile strength: 220 MPa
     Ultimate shear strength: 150 MPa
     Tensile yield: 70 MPa
Yellow Brass (65% Cu, 35% Zn), Cold Rolled
     Density: 8470 kg/m^3
     Ultimate tensile strength: 510 MPa
     Ultimate shear strength: 300 MPa
     Tensile yield: 410 MPa
     Shear yield: 250 MPa
Tin Bronze (88% Cu, 8% Sn, 4% Zn)
     Density: 8800 kg/m^3
     Ultimate tensile strength: 310 MPa
     Tensile Yield: 145 MPa
Monel Alloy (Ni-Cu), cold worked.  No nickel or copper proportions listed.
      Density: 8830 kg/m^3
      Ultimate tensile strength: 675 MPa 
      Tensile yield: 585 MPa
      Shear yield: 345 MPa
Cupronickel (90% Cu, 10% Ni), cold worked
       Density: 8940 kg/m^3
       Ultimate tensile strength: 585 MPa
       Tensile yield: 545 MPa

Also, for comparison

Titanium Alloy (6% Al, 4% V) I really don't think this would fit in the DF setting.
      Density: 4730 kg/m^3
      Ultimate tensile strength: 900 MPa
      Tensile Yield: 830 MPa
      Modulus of elasticity: 115 MPa
Douglas fir (most other woods listed had properties close to these)
       Density: 470 kg/m^3
       Ultimate tensile strength: 100 MPa
       Ultimate compression strength: 50 MPa
       Ultimate shear strength: 7.6 MPa
       Modulus of elasticity: 13 GPa
       Modulus of rigidity: 0.7 GPa


Hope this helps.
