b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




being stretched. The more elastance a structure has, the more difficult it is to stretch. The
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




compliance of a structure is the ease with which the structure distends or stretches.
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g
