Stiffness: Measurement & Applications

Stiffness or rigidity is the extent to which an object resists deformation in response to an applied force. The inverse of stiffness is flexibility or pliability: the more flexible an object is, the less stiff it is. Other terms with related meanings are compliance and elasticity.
