The opposite of elastic is inelastic, where a material cannot stretch and rebound. A material without this quality could be "inflexible" (rigid, stiff) or one that did not rebound, termed "plastic" (deformable).
Elastic suggests that the material recovers its original shape after an applied load is removed. Plastic means that it doesn't recover its shape. Steel is an example of an elasticmaterial, when it is loaded within its capacity. It becomes plastic if it is overloaded. Concrete can be considered an elastic material only in compression.
What else can I help you with?
What is difference between elastic and elastic plastic analysis how can one determine wether its elastic analysis or elastic plastic analysis in ANSYS?
your face for gods sake
Definition for elastic vibration?
The definition of elastic vibration was found in the website at the bottom. Elastic vibration is oscillating movement of a solid object in which a large majority of the energy is retained though elastic forces and with inertia of the object.www.answers.com/topic/elastic-vibration
What is an Elastic foundation?
An elastic foundation is a foundation that is not rigid and follows Hook's law. The implications of an analysis on an elastic foundation are that you can no longer assume zero deflection from at the base of loaded structures.
Which is more elastic gold or steel?
A: GOLD in a vacuum can be spread to a film steel does not have this property
Why is yew wood elastic?
why is yew wood elastic? cheers desperately need this info for my physics coursework!
What is the opposite of inflexible?
The opposite would be flexible. For an object, it could be ductile, bendable, elastic, or malleable. For a person, it could be amenable, accomodating, or receptive.
Distinguish between elastic and inelastic demand?
An example of perfectly inelastic demand would be a life-saving drug that people will pay any price to obtain. Elastic demand is the opposite of this.
What are some examples of elastic forces?
Two kids trying to recover a ball and they are pulling it in opposite directions. or tension force=pulling/stretching and compression force=pushing closer An elastic band.
An elastic force that stretches or pulls on the molecules in matter is?
An elastic force that stretches or pulls on the molecules in matter is known as tension. This force occurs when an object is being stretched or pulled in opposite directions.
What is elastic force that stretches or pulls matter called?
Tension. The force itself is not elastic, but the material being pulled may be.
How do forces from an elastic car account for its movement?
When a rubber band–powered car is wound, potential energy is stored in the stretched elastic band. As the elastic band returns to its original shape, it exerts a force that propels the car forward. This force drives the wheels, causing the car to move in the opposite direction to that of the force applied by the elastic band.
What is an exmaple of elastic force of tention?
An example of elastic force of tension is a rubber band being stretched. As the rubber band stretches, it exerts a tension force in the opposite direction to try and return to its original shape and length.
If two gliders of equal mass and equal and opposite initial velocity collide perfectly elastically what are the final velocities of the gliders in terms of the initial velocities?
The final velocities of the gliders after a perfectly elastic collision will also be equal and opposite to their initial velocities. This is due to the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy in elastic collisions.
If a pulling force is exerted on an elastic band then it .?
If a pulling force is exerted on an elastic band, it will stretch and store potential energy as the elastic band is deformed. The band will exert a restoring force back in the opposite direction to its original shape, trying to regain its unstretched position once the external force is removed.
What force does an elastic band have?
An elastic band exerts a restoring force when stretched. This force is exerted in the opposite direction of the displacement, attempting to return the band to its original shape. The magnitude of this force increases with the amount of stretch applied to the band.
What is the function of elastic fibers in the trachea?
Longitudinal elastic fibers enable the trachea to stretch and descend with the roots of the lungs during inspiration.
Can be stretched and then return to its own shape?
elastic
