La resilienza è la capacità di rispondere ai mutamenti e ai fattori di perturbazione mantenendo funzioni e struttura. Elasticità, flessibilità.
Mechanics. 1. the ability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation, especially when the strain is produced by compressive stress. Also, ELASTIC RESILIENCE.the ability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation, especially when the strain is produced by compressive stress. Also, ELASTIC RESILIENCE. 2. the recoverable potential energy stored in an elastic body when stressed within its elastic limit.the recoverable potential energy stored in an elastic body when stressed within its elastic limit. Computer Technology. the ability of a system to continue to run in the event of a component failure. Textiles. also, resiliency. the qualities of a fabric that enable it to recover its original shape and size after release from wrinkling or crushing; some fabrics, such as wool and silk, have natural resiliency, and others can be chemically treated to impart a certain amount of resiliency.
