  2. Plasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Time-independent plastic flow in both single crystals and polycrystals is defined by a critical/maximum resolved shear stress (τ CRSS), initiating dislocation migration along parallel slip planes of a single slip system, thereby defining the transition from elastic to plastic deformation behavior in crystalline materials.

  3. Behavioral plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_plasticity

    Behavioral plasticity is the change in an organism's behavior that results from exposure to stimuli, such as changing environmental conditions. [1] Behavior can change more rapidly in response to changes in internal or external stimuli than is the case for most morphological traits and many physiological traits.

  4. Plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasticity

    Behavioral plasticity, change in an organism's behavior in response to exposure to stimuli; Neuroplasticity, in neuroscience, how entire brain structures, and the brain itself, can change as a result of experience Synaptic plasticity, the property of a neuron or synapse to change its internal parameters in response to its history

  5. Viscoplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoplasticity

    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 important for transient plasticity calculations.

  6. Phenotypic plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenotypic_plasticity

    Phenotypic plasticity refers to some of the changes in an organism's behavior, morphology and physiology in response to a unique environment. [1] [2] Fundamental to the way in which organisms cope with environmental variation, phenotypic plasticity encompasses all types of environmentally induced changes (e.g. morphological, physiological, behavioural, phenological) that may or may not be ...

  7. Shear thinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_thinning

    In rheology, shear thinning is the non-Newtonian behavior of fluids whose viscosity decreases under shear strain. It is sometimes considered synonymous for pseudo-plastic behaviour, [1] [2] and is usually defined as excluding time-dependent effects, such as thixotropy. [3]

  9. Flow plasticity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_plasticity_theory

    Plastic deformation of a thin metal sheet. Flow plasticity is a solid mechanics theory that is used to describe the plastic behavior of materials. [1] Flow plasticity theories are characterized by the assumption that a flow rule exists that can be used to determine the amount of plastic deformation in the material.
