Deformáció
Deformáció, also known as deformation, refers to the process by which a material or object changes its shape or size under the influence of external forces. This phenomenon is fundamental in various fields, including engineering, physics, and materials science. Deformation can be categorized into two main types: elastic and plastic.
Elastic deformation is reversible. When the external force is removed, the material returns to its original
Plastic deformation, on the other hand, is irreversible. Once the material has been deformed, it does not
Deformation can also be classified based on the type of stress applied. Tensile stress, for example, occurs
Understanding deformation is crucial for designing structures and components that can withstand various loads and stresses.
