When
the load on a material takes it past its yield stress plastic deformation
occurs and permanent changes of shape result. This deformation mode is
essential for the fabrication of many components, however, the fabricated
structures will normally be
used in their elastic range. In this section, the continuum and atomistic aspects of plastic deformation will be discussed and some design issues associated with the phenomenon will be outlined. |
