I thought about this as well but then I rejected idea that stiffness is also
function of weight. In my (nonengineering) sanity check I presume that
stiffness should not change in weightless environment (space, orbit). I
think it is only function of
form (for a given material).  Weight will only increase load and
deformation.
I think some engineers on the list know the answer precisely.
