Synopsis

The paper first introduces and describes the basic concepts of structural resilience on the example of the simplest structural element - a rod subjected to centrally applied tensile force. The very fact of the possibility of such a method of introducing fundamentally new concepts indicates that resilience is one of the intrinsic properties of mechanical systems, such as strength, durability, reliability, and can be described in quantitative terms.
