  2. Plasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    [1] [2] For example, a solid piece of metal being bent or pounded into a new shape displays plasticity as permanent changes occur within the material itself. In engineering, the transition from elastic behavior to plastic behavior is known as yielding .

  3. Work hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_hardening

    An example of undesirable work hardening is during machining when early passes of a cutter inadvertently work-harden the workpiece surface, causing damage to the cutter during the later passes. Certain alloys are more prone to this than others; superalloys such as Inconel require materials science machining strategies that take it into account.

  4. Rock mass plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_mass_plasticity

    In metal plasticity, for example in steel, the size of a dislocation is sub-grain size while for soil it is the relative movement of microscopic grains. The theory of soil plasticity was developed in the 1960s at Rice University to provide for inelastic effects not observed in metals.

  5. TWIP steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWIP_steel

    Twinning-Induced Plasticity steel which is also known as TWIP steel is a class of austenitic steels which can deform by both glide of individual dislocations and mechanical twinning on the {1 1 1} γ <1 1 ¯ > γ system. [1]

  6. List of materials properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A ductile material must have a high degree of plasticity and strength so that large deformations can take place without failure or rupture of the material. In ductile extension, a material that exhibits a certain amount of elasticity along with a high degree of plasticity. [3] Durability: Ability to withstand wear, pressure, or damage; hard-wearing

  7. 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.

    They've got thinner, the construction is cheaper, and we've seen a general move from metal to plastic." #7 Put My Brand New $120 Pan On A Hot Pad That Was Supposedly Made For Hot Pans.

  9. Viscoplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoplasticity

    The yield function is often expressed as an equation consisting of some invariant of stress and a model for the yield stress (or plastic flow stress). An example is von Mises or plasticity. In those situations the plastic strain rate is calculated in the same manner as in rate-independent plasticity.
