In
material science,
resilience is the ability of a material to absorb energy when it is
deformed elastically, and release that energy upon unloading.
Proof resilience is defined as the maximum energy that can be absorbed within the elastic limit, without creating a permanent distortion. The
modulus of resilience is defined as the maximum energy that can be absorbed per unit volume without creating a permanent distortion. It can be calculated by
integrating the
stress-strain curve from zero to the elastic limit. In uniaxial tension,
