Nyúlhatóság

Nyúlhatóság is a Hungarian term that can be translated to "extensibility" or "stretchability" in English. It refers to the property of a material or system to be deformed elastically under tensile stress, meaning it can be stretched and then return to its original shape and size when the stress is removed. This concept is fundamental in materials science and engineering, particularly when dealing with materials used in applications requiring flexibility and resilience.

The degree of nyúlhatóság is determined by the material's elastic modulus and yield strength. Materials with high nyúlhatóság can undergo significant elongation before permanent deformation occurs. This property is crucial in many everyday items and industrial applications, such as rubber bands, springs, elastic fabrics, and certain types of plastics. Understanding and quantifying nyúlhatóság allows engineers to select appropriate materials for specific designs, ensuring that components can withstand expected loads without failure or permanent distortion. In some contexts, it can also refer to the ability of a system, like software or a process, to be expanded or adapted to accommodate new features or requirements without a fundamental redesign.
