👉 "Axofugal" is a term in physics and engineering that describes a linear elastic material where stress acts perpendicular to the plane of deformation. This means that when an external force is applied, the material will deform in such a way that the resulting strain (i.e., the change in length) is equal to the initial strain (i.e., the change in length due to the stress). In other words, the material is subjected to a restoring force that causes it to deform.
