A elasticidade



Example: A elasticidade do material permite que ele volte à forma original.

Definition


"Elasticity" in engineering refers to the property of a material that allows it to return to its original shape after being stretched, compressed, or deformed. It indicates how well a material can recover its form once the applied force is removed.

Etymology


The word "elasticity" comes from the Latin word 'elasticus,' which in turn derives from the Greek 'elastikos,' meaning 'able to be stretched.' Did you know? The concept of elasticity was first studied extensively in the 17th century, helping engineers understand how materials behave under stress.
