Some of the applications of the applications of elasticity of metals are :1)Lifts and cranes have to support heavy loads, therefore the suspension ropes and cables should have very high strength. 2)Materials having higher Young`s modulus are used in selecting the ropes in lifts and trains.3)Principles of elasticity are used to select materials in the construction of bridges and building.4)The principle of elasticity is also used in measuring the height of mountains.5)Metallic machinery are not subjected to stress beyond its elastic limits, otherwise they will be deformed permanently.Hope it helps!
