Plasticity (in Physics) fundamentals

Plasticity is the ability of a solid material to undergo permanent deformation, a non-reversible change of shape in response to applied forces. This means that once the force is removed, ...

Strain in physics

Definition of strain Definition of Strain: Strain is the measure of how much an object is stretched or deformed due to the stress applied to it. Types of Strain in Physics ...
