Tensile and flexural strength
Definitely 'strength', but not compressive. I haven't taken the time to confirm, but I believe it is tensile (elastico) and flexural (dinamico) strength. These are similar properties (unlike compressive strength) and you'll see them cited together as regards plaster characteristics.

elastic-dynamic resistance
Please check the below UREl, that talks about the different kind of resistance and elastic materials.
Note from asker:
| But your link is medical and talking more specifically about the eye. Here we are talking about masonry and plaster. I'm not so sure the same characteristics hold. Thanks anyway |
