Elasticity refers to the ability of a material or object to deform under stress and return to its original shape or position once the stress is removed. It is a physical property that determines how much a material can stretch or bend without permanently altering its structure or integrity.
Elasticity is often quantified by parameters such as the modulus of elasticity or Young’s modulus, which describe the material’s resistance to deformation.
Understanding elasticity is crucial in fields such as materials science, engineering, and biomechanics for designing structures, predicting behavior, and ensuring performance and safety.
