What are the three main mechanical properties used to describe solids?
Elasticity, plasticity, and strength
Explain the difference between elasticity and plasticity in solids.
Explain the difference between elasticity and plasticity in solids.
Elasticity refers to the ability of a solid to return to its original shape after deformation, while plasticity refers to the permanent deformation of a solid.
How does strength play a role in the mechanical behavior of solids?
How does strength play a role in the mechanical behavior of solids?
Strength is the ability of a solid to withstand an applied force without failure or deformation.
