Elastic Describing the relative stability of a security's or product's price in the face of increased or decreased demand. Elastic securities or products have prices that move as independently as possible from changes in demand. In securities, elasticity is strongly influenced by the number of shares outstanding; if a company has many shares outstanding, a large order to buy or sell them is less likely to affect the price as strongly as a similar order for a company with comparatively few shares outstanding. In other products, elasticity largely comes from whether a given product is considered a necessity or a luxury. A "necessary" product is likely to be more elastic.

The elastic modulus of the FRM demonstrated a similar response. The aromatic oil appears to increase the elastic modulus and produce an even larger jump in the viscous modulus, thereby increasing tangent delta; while the TMTD primarily increases G', so that tangent delta is decreased. Empirically, the temperature dependence of Young's elastic modulus for most ceramics is relatively simple, generally decreasing monotonically with increasing temperature. |
