What are examples of elastic spring force?

If you stretch a rubber band then release it, it will return to its original shape. That is by definition elastic strain. Anything that returns to its original shape after being affected by force underwent elastic strain. If it is permanently deformed (ie you bent a paperclip out of place and it wont return to its original shape) then it passes the elastic strain region and suffered plastic strain.
