  1. In physics and materials science, elasticity is the ability of a body to resist a distorting influence and to return to its original size and shape when that influence or force is removed.

  2. resources. Discussion. basics. Elasticity is the property of solid materials to return to their original shape and size after the forces deforming them have been removed. Recall Hooke's law — first stated formally by Robert Hooke in The True Theory of Elasticity or Springiness (1676)… ut tensio, sic vis. which can be translated literally into…

  4. May 3, 2024 · Robert Hooke (born July 18 [July 28, New Style], 1635, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England—died March 3, 1703, London) was an English physicist who discovered the law of elasticity, known as Hooke’s law, and who did research in a remarkable variety of fields. In 1655 Hooke was employed by Robert Boyle to construct the Boylean air pump.

  5. Apr 9, 2024 · yield strength. Hooke’s law, law of elasticity discovered by the English scientist Robert Hooke in 1660, which states that, for relatively small deformations of an object, the displacement or size of the deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force or load.

  6. Linear elasticity is a mathematical model of how solid objects deform and become internally stressed due to prescribed loading conditions. It is a simplification of the more general nonlinear theory of elasticity and a branch of continuum mechanics.

  7. elasticity, ability of a deformed material body to return to its original shape and size when the forces causing the deformation are removed. A body with this ability is said to behave (or respond) elastically.
