  2. Plasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    An idealized uniaxial stress-strain curve showing elastic and plastic deformation regimes for the deformation theory of plasticity. There are several mathematical descriptions of plasticity. [12] One is deformation theory (see e.g. Hooke's law) where the Cauchy stress tensor (of order d-1 in d dimensions) is a function of the strain tensor ...

  3. Work hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_hardening

    Eventually the stress is great enough to overcome the strain-field interactions and plastic deformation resumes. However, ductility of a work-hardened material is decreased. Ductility is the extent to which a material can undergo plastic deformation, that is, it is how far a material can be plastically deformed before fracture. A cold-worked ...

  4. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    An example of a material with a large plastic deformation range is wet chewing gum, which can be stretched to dozens of times its original length. Under tensile stress, plastic deformation is characterized by a strain hardening region and a necking region and finally, fracture (also called rupture).

  5. Viscoplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoplasticity

    Rate-dependence in this context means that the deformation of the material depends on the rate at which loads are applied. [1] The inelastic behavior that is the subject of viscoplasticity is plastic deformation which means that the material undergoes unrecoverable deformations when a load level is reached. Rate-dependent plasticity is ...

  6. Ductility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductility

    Plastic deformation is the permanent distortion of a material under applied stress, as opposed to elastic deformation, which is reversible upon removing the stress. Ductility is a critical mechanical performance indicator, particularly in applications that require materials to bend, stretch, or deform in other ways without breaking.

  7. Severe plastic deformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_Plastic_Deformation

    Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is a generic term describing a group of metalworking techniques involving very large strains typically involving a complex stress state or high shear, resulting in a high defect density and equiaxed "ultrafine" grain (UFG) size (d < 1000 nm) or nanocrystalline (NC) structure (d < 100 nm).

  8. Rock mass plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_mass_plasticity

    The equations that govern the deformation of jointed rocks are the same as those used to describe the motion of a continuum: [13] ˙ + = ˙ = = ˙: + = where (,) is the mass density, ˙ is the material time derivative of , (,) = ˙ (,) is the particle velocity, is the particle displacement, ˙ is the material time derivative of , (,) is the Cauchy stress tensor, (,) is the body force density ...

  9. Low-cycle fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-cycle_fatigue

    Low cycle fatigue (LCF) has two fundamental characteristics: plastic deformation in each cycle; and low cycle phenomenon, in which the materials have finite endurance for this type of load. The term cycle refers to repeated applications of stress that lead to eventual fatigue and failure; low-cycle pertains to a long period between applications.
