2. Plastic hinge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_hinge

   Diagram of a structure featuring plastic hinges. In the structural engineering beam theory, plastic hinge is the deformation of a section of a beam where plastic bending occurs. [1] In earthquake engineering plastic hinge is also a type of energy damping device allowing plastic rotation [deformation] of an otherwise rigid column connection. [2]

3. Living hinge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_hinge

   Plastic living hinges are typically manufactured in an injection molding operation [2] [3] that creates all three parts at one time as a single piece, and if correctly designed and constructed, it can remain functional over the life of the part.

5. Limit load (physics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_load_(physics)

   Plasticity spreads throughout the solid and at the limit load, the plastic zone becomes very large and the displacements become unbounded and the component is said to have collapsed. Any load above the limit load will lead to the formation of plastic hinge in the structure. Engineers use limit states to define and check a structure's performance.

6. Moment redistribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_redistribution

   Hence in this process, few hinges are formed earlier and the rest are formed afterwards. Further increment in load does not increase the moment at the points where the plastic hinges are formed. The increased load increases the moment in the less stressed sections of the beam; hence due to this, further plastic hinges are formed.
