Concept:

The correct match is,

Resilience - Capacity of a material to absorb energy elastically

Fatigue - Failure of material at loads less than that at normal conditions

Stiffness - Resistance of the material to elastic deformation

Elasticity - Ability of the material to return to the original shape when the load is removed

Resilience

  • It is the total strain energy stored in a given volume of material within the elastic limit.
  • On removal of a load, this energy is released. In other words, it is the area under the load-deflection curve within the elastic limit.

Fatigue

  • When a material is subjected to repeated stresses, it fails at stresses below the yield point stresses. Such type of failure of a material is known as fatigue.

Stiffness

  • Stiffness of a material is the resistance offered to deformation, below the elastic limit. 
  • A material with a high value of Young’s modulus E is stiffer than the material with the lower value of Young’s modulus.
  • Small values of E indicate flexible materials and a large value of E reflects stiffness and rigidity.

Elasticity 

  • The elasticity of a metal is its power of returning to its original shape after the applied force is released.
  • Properly heat-treated spring is a good example of elasticity.
