1. A value of 0 means that a material is a perfectly elastic solid . 2. :( ec ) : Transverse or shear sound waves are possible in elastic solids . 3. Rayleigh waves on ideal, homogeneous and flat elastic solids show no dispersion, as stated above. 4. Such a gel is an elastic solid body, but differs from ordinary solids by having a very low elastic modulus. 5. Recent measurements using force spectrum microscopy reveal that the cytoplasm can be likened to an elastic solid , rather than a viscoelastic fluid. 6. When the amount of strain ( deformation ) is proportional to the stress being applied, ice will act as an elastic solid . 7. One possibility which has received little attention ( perhaps because the mathematics is so challenging ) is the problem of modeling an elastic solid . 8. Silly Putty's unusual flow characteristics are due to the ingredient polydimethylsiloxane ( PDMS ), a elastic solid over a short time period. 9. The transverse and type I ( or fast ) longitudinal wave are similar to the transverse and longitudinal waves in an elastic solid , respectively. 10. At high velocities, they function as an elastic solid , resembling rubber; at lower velocities, they simply act as a sticky glue.
