Asked by Meraaa

Answer (2)

The material is permanently (irreversibly) modified

Answered by Hippalectryon | 2024-06-10

Plastic deformation occurs when a material permanently changes shape after exceeding its elastic limit, meaning it does not return to its original form when stress is removed. This change is caused by microscopic movements within the material's atomic structure. Examples include bending metals and shaping clay.
