plasticityshape
Plasticityshape is a term used in materials science and related disciplines to describe the relationship between plastic deformation and the evolving geometry of a solid under load. It captures how irreversible shape changes arise from yielding and flow, and how these changes influence an object's external form and internal stress distribution.
In classical plasticity, materials permanently deform once the yield point is exceeded. Plasticityshape emphasizes that the
Mathematical models for plasticityshape often employ finite-strain plasticity, using a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient
Applications span metal forming, polymer shaping, and geomechanics, where accurate prediction of final geometry and residual
The term is not widely standardized and may appear in cross-disciplinary work rather than as a formal
