Elasticity is a term used in economics to describe responsiveness in one variable to changes in another. Typically, elasticity is used to describe how much demand for a product changes as its ...

One example of this forecasting of behavior that economists attempt is the price elasticity of demand ... such as a recession or recovery. As consumers, we make decisions that economists measure ...

After stress is relieved, however, conventional ferroelectric materials exhibit poor elastic recovery—typically less than 2%, thus tend to be either brittle (ferroelectric ceramics) or plastic ...

The demonstrated combination of high stiffness (12 MPa), exceptional elastic recovery (90% after compression), and superior energy absorption (2.6 times current materials) sets new benchmarks for ...

The conventional ferroelectric materials exhibit poor elastic recovery—typically less than 2 percent, thus tend to be either brittle (ferroelectric ceramics) or plastic (ferroelectric polymers).
