| ELAS | (physics) the ratio of the applied stress to the change in shape of an elastic body |
|---|---|
| ELAS | potential energy that is stored when a body is deformed (as in a coiled spring) |
| ELAS | connective tissue consisting chiefly of elastic fibers found in the dermis of the skin and in the walls of veins and arteries and in some tendons and ligaments |
| ELAS | made with strands or inserts of elastic |
| ELAS | the tendency of a body to return to its original shape after it has been stretched or compressed |
| ELAS | the elasticity of a body that has been pulled out of shape by a shearing force |
| ELAS | made with strands or inserts of elastic |
| ELAS | a fibrous scleroprotein found in elastic tissues such as the walls of arteries |
| ELAS | any of various elastic materials that resemble rubber (resumes its original shape when a deforming force is removed) |
| ELAS | (British trademark) an elastic adhesive bandage for covering cuts or wounds |
| ELAS | breakdown of elastic tissue (as the loss of elasticity in the skin of elderly people that results from degeneration of connective tissue) |
