Flexibility:
It is defined as the displacement/deformation produced due to unit load. It is the inverse of stiffness.
Mathematically, f = 1/K
Stiffness:
It is defined as the load required for unit deflection in spring
In spring F = -K × Δ
Where,
K = spring constant/stiffness, f = Flexibility constant, Δ = deflection, and F = force
When Δ = 1 unit, ⇒ F = k
So, stiffness is equal to the applied load.Last updated on Jun 24, 2025
