👉 In physics and engineering, an isometric elastic material is one in which the material behaves like a solid when subjected to forces (such as tension) but exhibits no plastic deformation or failure under compression. These materials are often used in structures that have high loads such as bridges. An example of an isometric elastic material would be concrete, which has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion and a high tensile strength due to its properties. This makes it a good choice for building structures like bridges and highways
