   cf. f. 'elasticit'e.
   1. the quality of being elastic; the inherent property in
      bodies by which they recover their former figure or

   coefficient of elasticity, the quotient of a stress of a
      given kind, by the strain of a given kind which it
      produces; -- called also coefficient of resistance.

   surface of elasticity geom., the pedal surface of an
      ellipsoid see pedal; a surface used in explaining the
      phenomena of double refraction and their relation to the
