Pliable

Flexibly slack components (also referred to as dimensionally unstable, dimensionally unstable or non-dimensionally stable components ) are characterized by a low modulus of elasticity , low tensile stiffness and therefore large deformations due to low force and moment loads .

They can be differentiated into according to their geometry

• elongated components (solid, hollow cylinders )
• flat components (mats, foils ) or
• block-shaped components ( rubber bearings , upholstery ).
