  "term": "Elastic",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "Relating to the property of a material, such as rock, to deform instantly when a stress is applied and to recover its original shape completely when the stress is removed. This behavior is governed by Hooke's Law, where stress is proportional to strain within the material's elastic limit. The relationship is described by elastic moduli like Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, which are measured in pascals and are key inputs for geomechanical models.",
