(physics) A quantity that measures an object or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically (i.e. non-permanently) when a stress is applied to it, defined as the ratio of stress to strain.

(physics) The level of stress at which a solid undergoes a greater change in strain than predicted by Hooke's law; often followed by necking and breaking.

(physics) The potential energy stored in a system when it is distorted or deformed; the classic example is that of a coiled spring

plural of modulus of elasticity

Alternative form of musculoelastic

(Australia, New Zealand) Slip-on boots similar to riding boots with a piece of elastic set into the ankles.

Alternative form of elastic sides

Synonym of hair tie

Of footwear, having pieces of elastic set into the ankles on both sides.
