In materials science, it describes the property of a material to come back to its original shape, after having suffered a deformation which does not exceed its elastic limit. Learn more in: Supply Chain Resilience

6.

A swarm is resilient if the loss of individual agents has little impact on the success of the task of the swarm. Learn more in: Security in Swarm Robotics

7.

A term defined in many ways. In this chapter “resilience” is viewed as evidenced through everyday processes and describes the quality in a person which enables them to overcome misfortunes and other challenges or barriers rather than be drained of resolve. A positive attitude, optimism, and an ability to regulate emotions are clear strengths of the resilient person. Learn more in: Social Work with Refugee Women: Narrative and “Empowerment”

Coming from the Latin root resi-lire, the concept was first used by physical scientists to describe the stability of materials and their resistance to external shocks. In the 1960s, along with the rise of systems thinking, resilience entered the field of ecology where multiple meanings of the concept have emerged. The conventional understanding of resilience applied to socioeconomic studies regards the bouncing-back ability of a socioeconomic system to recover from a shock or disruption. Today resilience is being influenced by an evolutionary perspective, underlining it as the bouncing-forward ability of the system to undergo anticipatory or reactionary reorganization to minimize the impact of destabilizing shocks and create new growth trajectories.

Whilst this has often been used to describe the ability to bounce back to a former, steady state following a disruption, recently there has been increasing interest in the use of resilience as an approach for managing complex adaptive systems toward desirable outcomes. From this perspective, resilience is not just the ability to sustain core functions, but to promote specific desirable outcomes which may involve systemic transformation and bouncing forward to a better position than before.
