Elastic strain is reversible under certain conditions from "summary" of Stress and Strain by Winthrop Dickinson Means
When a material is subjected to external forces, it may undergo deformation. This deformation can be either elastic or plastic in nature. Elastic deformation occurs when the material is able to return to its original shape and size once the external forces are removed. On the other hand, plastic deformation results in permanent changes in the material's shape and size.
Elastic strain, as the name suggests, is reversible under certain conditions. This means that when a material is under the influence of external forces causing elastic deformation, it will return to its original shape and size once those forces are removed. This property of elastic strain is what allows materials like rubber bands to stretch and then snap back into place.
