Write the Applications of elasticity.

Explanation

(i) Elastic behaviour is one such property which especially decides the structural design of the columns and beams of a building.
(ii) As the structural engineering is concerned, the amount of stress that the design could withstand is a primary safety factor.
(iii) A bridge has to be designed in suh a way that it should have the capacity to withstand the load of the flowing traffic, the force winds, and even its own weight.
(iv) The elastic behaviour or in other words the bending of beams is a major concern over the stability of the buildings or bridges.
(v) To reduce the bending of a beam for a given load, one shouls use the material with a higher Young's modulus of elasticity (Y).
(vi) The young,s modulus of steel is greater than aluminium or copper.
(vii) Iron comes next to steel.
(viii) This is the reason why steel is mostly preferred in the design of hevay duty machines and iron rods in the construction of buildings.
