[QUOTE="FEAnalyst, post: 6283250, member: 658802"] I guess that by elastic you actually mean linear elastic. In simple words, without going into details: - linear elastic material - exhibits elastic behavior at all levels of strain (all deformations are reversible) and this behavior is linear (stress directly proportional to strain) - hyperelastic material - exhibits elastic behavior even at very high levels of strain (for example rubber can be stretched significantly and it still goes back to its initial shape) and this behavior is nonlinear (nonlinear relationship between stress and strain) - hypoelastic material - exhibits nonlinear elastic behavior even at very low levels of strain [/QUOTE]
