Elastic Deformation

{ By: Hiba
  A change in shape like this is called
Deformation. In general, the greater the force
exerted, the greater the amount of
Deformation. This is why an elastic band gets
longer the harder you pull it, and why a rubber
ball squashes more the harder you squeeze it.

Defomation:
 Hooke's law is the first classical example of an explanation of
elasticity , which is the property of an object or material which
causes it to be restored to its original shape after distortion. This
ability to return to a normal shape after experiencing distortion
can be referred to as a "restoring force". In terms of Hooke's Law,
this restoring force is generally proportional to the amount of
"stretch" experienced.

Hooke’s law:

 Plastic Deformation

Types of Deformation:
  Elastic deformation is a change of the shape of
the body as a reaction to applied stress. This
deformation is only temporary and once the
stress is released, the undeformed shape of the
body is restored.

 Elastic deformation examples:

Rubber band is a classic {

example of elastic
deformation. It can be
deformed to a length many
times its original size, but
upon release, it returns to its
original shape.
  When something is stretched, and it stays
stretched, the material is said to be plastic.
When energy goes into changing the shape of
some material and it stays changed, that is said
to be plastic deformation.

Plastic Deformation:
Plastic Deformation examples:

Example of plastic deformation

includes the bending of a steel rod
{
under tension or the breaking of a
glass under compression. In the
case of the steel rod, the object is
deformed without rupturing, without
breaking or reducing to pieces.
Graph showing Hooke’s law:
  A material's elastic limit is the greatest stress
that can be applied to it without causing plastic
(permanent) deformation. When a material is
stressed to a point below its elastic limit, it will
return to its original length once the stress is
removed.

Elastic Limit:
  The limit of proportionality refers to the point
beyond which Hooke's law is no longer true
when stretching a material.
 The proportional limit is the point on a stress-
strain curve where the linear, elastic
deformation region transitions into a non-
linear, plastic deformation region. When an
elastic object is stretched beyond its limit of
proportionality, the object does not return to its
original length when the force is removed.

Limit of Proportionality:
  Permanent deformation is irreversible; the
deformation stays even after removal of the
applied forces, while the temporary
deformation is recoverable as it disappears
after the removal of applied forces.
