The capacity of the material to absorb energy without danger of being
permanently deformed - ✔✔Modulus of resilience
It is the stress caused by an applied load that acts to reduce the length of a
material along the axis of the applied load. - ✔✔Compressive stress
It is the stress caused by a pair of opposing forces that acts along parallel
