Elasticity

Elasticity may refer to:

• Elasticity (physics), continuum mechanics of bodies that deform reversibly under stress

Numerous uses are derived from this physical sense of the term, which is inherently mathematical, such as used in Engineering, Chemistry, Construction and variously in Economics:

• Elasticity (data store), the flexibility of the data model and the clustering

• Elasticity (economics), a general term for a ratio of change. For more specific economic forms of elasticity, see:
  • Beta (finance)
  • Cross elasticity of demand
  • Elasticity of substitution
  • Frisch elasticity of labor supply
  • Income elasticity of demand
  • Output elasticity
  • Price elasticity of demand
  • Price elasticity of supply
  • Yield elasticity of bond value
• Elasticity of a function, a mathematical definition of point elasticity
  • Arc elasticity

• Elasticity coefficient, a biochemical term used in metabolic control analysis
• Elasticity (cloud computing), a defining feature of cloud computing
