What are examples of elastic materials?
All materials are elastic to a point. An elastic material is one that returns to its original size and shape when the load that is causing it to bend or stretch, is removed. At some point all materials will exceed their "elastic limit". Mild steel used for building structures is quite elastic if not over loaded. Rubber such as a rubber band is extremely elastic but it also has an elastic limit, and an ultimate strength. Glass is not very elastic and is considered brittle.

How does the word curve differs from bend?
"Curve" and "bend" are sometimes used to mean similar things, yet both words have slightly different applications. "Curve" usually describes a smooth, even arching of a line. It often refers to something intentional (usually "bend" is used to describe something which was done accidentally such as in "I bent the hood of my car"). "Curve" is usually not used as a verb, whereas "bend" usually is. Example: "He bent the iron bar". Curve is used more often as a noun. Curve and bend can be used to describe similar things under limited contexts such as "There was a bend (or curve) in the road".
