Nov 7, 2011 #3 YoungTurk Mechanical Jul 16, 2004 333 You know - the ones that get really really excited about stretching. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperelastic_material I've never seen any on an aircraft; eyeglasses maybe. I'm starting to think EngTips needs some sort of moderation for first time posters. Too many poorly formed questions which sound suspiciously like undergrad homework questions. Upvote 0 Downvote
