elasticitetsförlust
Elasticitetsförlust, often translated as loss of elasticity, refers to a reduction in the ability of a material to return to its original shape after being deformed. This phenomenon occurs when a material is subjected to stress beyond its elastic limit. When stress is applied, the material deforms. If the stress is removed within the elastic limit, the material will completely recover its original dimensions. However, if the stress exceeds this limit, some permanent deformation will remain, indicating a loss of elasticity.
Several factors can contribute to elasticitetsförlust. For many materials, repeated cycles of stress and strain, known
The consequences of elasticitetsförlust vary depending on the application. In structural engineering, a loss of elasticity
