    Elasticity is the property of an object to return to its original shape after being deformed by an external force. Springs exhibit elasticity as they can be stretched and return to their original length due to a restoring force proportional to the stretch, as described by Hooke's Law. Hooke's Law states that within elastic limits, the extension or compression of an object is directly proportional to the applied force. The ratio of stress to strain is known as the modulus of elasticity or Young's modulus. Deformation where stress and strain are proportional is called elastic deformation and plots as a linear relationship on a stress-strain curve. When this relationship is nonlinear, the tangent or secant modulus is used to represent the slope of the curve

    Elasticity is that property of a body which enables the body to regain its original dimensions when the deforming force acting on the body is removed. A spring is an example of an elastic object - when stretched, it exerts a restoring force which tends to bring it back to its original length. This restoring force is in general proportional to the stretch described by Hooke's Law. Hookes law states that within elastic limits, the extension (or compression) is directly proportional to the force applied. F = ke Where; F = Force k = Force constant e = Extension/Compression The ratio of stress versus strain is known as the Modulus of Elasticity E, or Youngs modulus.

    Deformation in which stress and strain are proportional is called elastic deformation; a plot of stress versus strain results in a linear relationship.

    When the elastic portion of the stressstrain curve is not linear, either tangent or secant modulus is normally used. Tangent modulus is taken as the slope of the stress-strain curve at some specified level of stress, while secant modulus represents the slope of a secant drawn from the origin to some given point on the curve.
