Deformation is a change is shape due to applied force, such as heat, pressure, or stresses. When an object’s change in shape is temporary and reversible, it is called elastic deformation. Plastic deformation involves the breaking of atomic bonds and results in permanent deformation.
See also elastic limit, strain, stress, Hooke’s law, plastic limit, young’s modulus, fatigue.
