92Elastic limit — Limit Lim it (l[i^]m [i^]t), n. [From L. limes, limitis: cf. F. limite; or from E. limit, v. See {Limit}, v. t.] 1. That which terminates, circumscribes, restrains, or confines; the bound, border, or edge; the utmost extent; as, the limit of a… …
93Elastic coupling — Dr. Ing. Leonhard Geislinger invented the torsionally Elastic coupling or also called flexible coupling in 1958. Originally it was a side product of the development for thermo pneumatic locomotives, but unlike the trains, it was a big success.The …
94elastic deformation — Physics. the temporary change in length, volume, or shape produced in an elastic substance by a stress that is less than the elastic limit of the substance. * * * …
95elastic modulus — Physics. See modulus of elasticity. [1935 40] * * * or elastic constant In materials science and physical metallurgy, any of various numbers that quantify the response of a material to elastic or springy deflection. When tensile stress is applied …
96elastic fibre — ▪ anatomy any of the yellowish branching fibres composed primarily of the protein elastin, frequently arranged in plates or perforated membranes, as in the walls of the large arteries. Unlike collagenous fibres, they show no orderly fibrous …
97elastic traction — traction by an elastic force or by means of an elastic appliance …
98elastic axis — A spanwise line along the cantilever wing. Along this line, a load will produce bending but not torsion. The illustration shows an example of an elastic axis of a wing when it encounters gust. See also aileron reversal. If an up gust strikes the… …
99elastic tissue — strong extensible flexible connective tissue rich in yellow elastic fibres. These fibres are long, thin, and branching and are composed primarily of an albumin like protein, elastin. Elastic tissue is found in the dermis of the skin, in arterial… …
