2. Bungee cord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungee_cord

   Bungee cord. A bungee cord (sometimes spelled bungie; also known as a shock cord or an ocky strap) is an elastic cord composed of one or more elastic strands forming a core, usually covered in a woven cotton or polypropylene sheath. The sheath does not materially extend elastically, but it is braided with its strands spiraling around the core ...

3. Elastic energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_energy

   Elastic energy is the mechanical potential energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as it is subjected to elastic deformation by work performed upon it. Elastic energy occurs when objects are impermanently compressed, stretched or generally deformed in any manner. Elasticity theory primarily develops formalisms for ...

5. Parachute cord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_cord

   Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord when referring to type-III paracord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of parachutes. This cord is now used as a general purpose utility cord. This versatile cord was used by astronauts during the 82nd Space Shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.

6. Bungee jumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungee_jumping

   Bungee jumping ( / ˈbʌndʒi / ), also spelled bungy jumping, is an activity that involves a person jumping from a great height while connected to a large elastic cord. The launching pad is usually erected on a tall structure such as a building or crane, a bridge across a deep ravine, or on a natural geographic feature such as a cliff.

7. Linear elasticity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_elasticity

   Linear elasticity is a mathematical model of how solid objects deform and become internally stressed by prescribed loading conditions. It is a simplification of the more general nonlinear theory of elasticity and a branch of continuum mechanics . The fundamental "linearizing" assumptions of linear elasticity are: infinitesimal strains or "small ...
