| Elastic deformation Lesson/Tutorial | A material when stretched and then returns to its original shape is called elastic. A common example is a rubber band is called elastic. Polymers, like rubber, are generally more elastic than metals. And metals are generally more elastic than ceramics. When a material is stretched under a heavy load then when released returns to its original shape is called elastic deformation. |
