Best Answer

In an elastic deformation, the object will return to its original shape afterwards (like tapping your arm softly with a needle, without piercing the skin). In a plastic deformation the object will first undergo elastic deformation, but then undergo a deformation that changes the shape of the material. (like tapping your arm with a needle that pierces through the skin and leaves a small wound).

What is elastic deformation?

Elastic deformation is recoverable deformation. As such, when the load that caused the deformation is removed the material will return to it's original shape.

What is anelastic deformation?

Anelastic deformation. Deformation processes where a material assumes its original shape after the load is removed, but with a time delay.


What is plastic deformation?

Plastic deformation is a permanent unrecoverable deformation. When the load that caused the deformation is removed, the material will not return to it's original shape but will maintain it's newly deformed shape.

How do you calculate permanent deformation?

Deformation is calculated by using deflecto meter.
