conceptual (elastic limit)

Question

Beyond elastic limit a material?

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

1. **Elastic Range**: Within the elastic limit, a material returns to its original dimensions after the deforming force is removed.
2. **Elastic Limit**: This is the maximum stress that can be applied to a material without causing permanent (plastic) deformation.
3. **Plastic Region**: If stress exceeds this limit, atomic planes start sliding past one another permanently.
4. **Result**: Even after removing the load, the material retains a 'set' or permanent strain. It has undergone **permanent deformation**.
