Rigidity is a property of material itself whereas stiffness is a function of material property, sectional property and end conditions.
Both the properities are having the ability to absorb the energy,but they differ in elastic properity,If the same amount of energy being absorbed by the materials having mechanical properity of toughness and stiffness,The elastic range of tough material is more ,than the stiff material when compared.Spring material is tough,but Low carbon mild steel with annealed heat treatment if stiff,Hence the difference can be made between them,
If spring is cut into two parts, each spring will have it's stiffness doubled. For n parts, stiffness of each part will be nk
Young's Modulus is the measurement of the stiffness of material, or the tensile strength. Searle's Apparatus is used to hold two wires parallel to find out the tensile strength.
Toughness is the ability of steel to absorb energy. Hardness is the ability of steels to withstand wear. Hardness is the ability of material to withstand the indent and is measured in rockwel or vickers. also it is a measure of stiffness of material. but hardenability is ability of material to become hardened by various methods of hardening such as carburising or quenching. it is firmly dependent on quantity of carbon in that material. and actually it doesn't have any measuring unit !

i have kno clue lol
The flexibility of a material is known as pliability. The opposite of this is stiffness, or the resistance to outside applied forces.
stiffness id say
It is related. Flexural modulus is the modulus of elasticity (E) in bending and the higher it is the higher the bending stiffness. Technically, bending stiffness is the product of the flexural modulus and the material bending moment of inertia, I, that is EI.
interfacing
a helical spring has N turns of coil of diameter D, and a second spring made of same material and of same wire diameter has N/2 turns of coil of diameter 2D. if stiffness of first spring is k, then stiffness of second spring is

the stiffness of a vehicle structure in a crash
The speed of sound is proportional to the (square root) of the stiffness of the material divided by the density.
Stiffness is defined as the ratio of load per unit deformation.
As the Young's modulus is a measure of stiffness, an increase in the temperature will typically lead to a decrease in the modulus of elasticity. However it depends on the material.
