Non-permanent structural deformation during which the amount of deformation (strain) is proportional to the stress.

elastic (pop)

Able to return to its original form after the removal of stress.

an elastic fabric usually made of yarns containing rubber.

(uncountable) An elastic material used in clothing, particularly in waistbands and cuffs.

Able to return to its original size and shape after having been deformed.

Able to return to original shape after bending.

A mineral characteristic describing its tenacity. A mineral is elastic if it rebounds to its original position when bent, typically by using a knife, to test hardness or fracture.

The tenacity of certain minerals that when put under stress will bend, and will return to their original positions when the stress is released. This term is sometimes referred to as "flexible and [..]

A mineral that will bend and return to its original form after stress is released.

A material or structure is said to behave elastically if it returns to its original geometry upon unloading.
