Resilience   Property: Resilience Method of Measurement: Resilience is measured on standard test equipment (of which there are several types e.g. Dunlop Tripsometer, Lupke Rebound). Standard test pieces are struck with a 'hammer' and the 'bounce back' of the hammer is measured. This is expressed as a percentage of the flight path of the striking hammer.
