Elasticity vs. Ductility

Elasticity and Ductility Definitions

Elasticity

The condition or property of being elastic; flexibility.

Ductility

Easily drawn into wire or hammered thin
Ductile metals.

Elasticity

The property of returning to an initial form or state following deformation.

Ductility

Easily molded or shaped.

Elasticity

The degree to which this property is exhibited.

Ductility

Capable of being readily persuaded or influenced; tractable
A ductile young mind.

Elasticity

A measure of how changes in price affect supply or demand for a given good, equal to the percentage of change in supply or demand divided by the percentage of the price change.

Ductility

(physics) Ability of a material to be drawn out longitudinally to a reduced section without fracture under the action of a tensile force.

Elasticity

(physics) The property by virtue of which a material deformed under load can regain its original dimensions when unloaded

Ductility

The property of a metal which allows it to be drawn into wires or filaments.

Elasticity

(economics) The sensitivity of changes in a quantity with respect to changes in another quantity.
If the sales of an item drop by 5% when the price increases by 10%, its price elasticity is −0.5.

Ductility

Tractableness; pliableness.

Elasticity

(computing) A measure of the flexibility of a data store's data model and clustering capabilities.

Ductility

The malleability of something that can be drawing into wires or hammered into thin sheets

Elasticity

(computing) A system's ability to adapt to changes in workload by automatically provisioning and de-provisioning resources.

Elasticity

(mathematics) The ratio of the relative change in a function's output with respect to the relative change in its input, for infinitesimal changes at a certain point.

Elasticity

The quality of being elastic.

Elasticity

Adaptability.

Elasticity

The quality of being elastic; the inherent property in bodies by which they recover their former figure or dimensions, after the removal of external pressure or altering force; springiness; resilience; tendency to rebound; as, the elasticity of caoutchouc; the elasticity of the air.

Elasticity

Power of resistance to, or recovery from, depression or overwork; - usually referred to as resilience[3].

Elasticity

The tendency of a body to return to its original shape after it has been stretched or compressed;
The waistband had lost its snap
