Plastic deformation is a non-reversible process caused by stress on metal or plastic, resulting in permanent changes. It can be used intentionally to mold objects through heat or pressure, but must be controlled to avoid cracking. It was historically used in handcrafted products and is still used in the creation of various goods today. Plastic […]
Elastic deformation is a reversible change in shape of a material, with the ability to recover from low stress. Plastic deformation changes shape permanently. Material testing can determine elasticity and adjust it. Excessive elasticity can cause damage to structural components in buildings. Elastic deformation is a reversible change in the shape of a material, where […]
