About this document

Mechanical Properties: Elastic vs Plastic by Astra Beckett is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This chapter discusses mechanical properties of materials including: 1) Stress and strain measurements are used instead of load and deformation to characterize materials. 2) Elastic behavior looks at small load deformation which is reversible, with stiffer materials deforming least. 3) Plastic behavior examines the point where permanent deformation occurs and which materials are most resistant. 4) Toughness and ductility are also discussed along with how they are measured.
