Resilience

Resilience generally means the ability to recover from (or to resist being affected by) some shock, insult, or disturbance. However, it is used quite differently in different fields. more...

Materials

In physics and engineering, resilience is defined as the capacity of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically and then, upon unloading to have this energy recovered. In other words, it is the maximum energy per volume that can be elastically stored. It is represented by the area under the curve in the elastic region in the Stress-Strain diagram.

Modulus of Resilience, $U r$ , can be calculated using the following formula: $\text{[math]}$ Ïƒ is yield stress, E is Young's modulus, and $Îµ$ is strain.

An example of a biomaterial which has a high resilience is articular cartilage, the substance lining the ends of bones in articulating joints such as the knee and hip.

Network

Resilience is the ability of the network to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of various faults and challenges to normal operation.

Resilient networks aim to provide acceptable service to applications:

ability for users and applications to access information when needed, e.g.:

Web browsing; distributed database access; sensor monitoring; situational awareness;

; maintenance of end-to-end communication association, e.g.:

computer-supported cooperative work; video conference; teleconference (including VoIP calls);

; operation of distributed processing and networked storage, e.g.:

ability for distributed processes to communicate with one another; ability for processes to read and write networked storage;

;

Note that resilience is a superset of survivability.

Ecology

In ecology, resilience has been defined in two competing fashions that emphasize two different aspects of stability. The consequences of those different aspects for ecological systems were first emphasized by the Canadian ecologist C. S. Holling in order to draw attention to tradeoffs between efficiency on the one hand and persistence on the other, or between constancy and change, or between predictability and unpredictability. It is defined by the Resilience Alliance as "the capacity of an ecosystem to tolerate disturbance without collapsing into a qualitatively different state that is controlled by a different set of processes. A resilient ecosystem can withstand shocks and rebuild itself when necessary. Resilience in social systems has the added capacity of humans to anticipate and plan for the future." Resilence is conferred in human and ecological systems by adaptive capacity.
