Explanation

The total strain energy stored in a body due to deformation is called resilience. It represents the material's ability to absorb energy without permanent deformation. Proof resilience and modulus of resilience are related but more specific measures, while toughness refers to the total energy absorbed until fracture, and impact energy relates to energy absorbed during sudden loading.
