elastic deformation [i′las·tik ‚dē·fər′mā·shən]
(mechanics)
Reversible alteration of the form or dimensions of a solid body under stress or strain.

elastic deformation
A change in shape without impairment of the elastic properties of a material.

Elastic Deformation 

a deformation that disappears when the load is removed. Such deformation requires that the elastic limit not be exceeded. If the limit is exceeded, the deformation is permanent.

Impact with the metallic surface results an elastic deformation energy.
Specifically, we will construct a model based on a specific free energy [psi] given by a function of the elastic deformation gradient [F.
In the loading/unloading curves, the area encolosed by the loading curve represents the total deformation energy end they enclosed by the unloading curve is the elastic deformation energy.
