What if material goes to plastic range?

It will permanently deform and not recover to its original state.


What criteria are applied to define a pure solid?

The material does not deform permanently / continuously when shear is applied (below the plastic limit).


What will happen if too much tension force is exerted on a spring?

Once you provide any material with a stress beyond its yield stress, it will deform plastically. In layman's terms, it will spring back partially once you let go, but you will permanently deform it.


Is copper stronger then nickel?

Their mechanical material properties are very similar with copper coming out marginally higher in terms of yield strength. This is the amount of stress required to make the metal deform permanently.


The difference between elasticity and plasticity?

Elasticity is the tendency of material to temporarily deform when placed under stress and regains its original shape and size upon removal of stress.It spreads, it stretches; it alters to accommodate the strain. Plasticity is the tendency of a material deform permanently under the application of external load . Think clay, putty; it retains the shape or can be re-shaped into something entirely new. The point at which a material's elasticity turns into plasticity is considered that object's yield.


What is the unit of ductility?

Ductility means the ability of a material to deform under tensile stress. When a ductile material is being streched it will deform instead of breaking.


What will happen to a material if the stress applied exceeds the ultimate strength?

hehe of course the material will be deform :)


When a tensile strength test specimen begins to deform permanently it has reached its?

Tensile yield point or yield strength


What is it called to alter a shape?

deform


Why fracture strength is always greater than yield strength?

The material has to stretch (strain) first before it breaks. For ductile materials, when stretch reaches a certain point it permanently deforms (yield) and continues to carry load until it then breaks as load increases. For brittle materials like glass which do not permanently deform thay simply break without yield.


What the two ways rocks permanently deform?

Faulting and folding (also known as brittle and ductile deformation). Please see the related links.


Why dont rocks deform under confining stress?

a deeply buried rock is pushed down by the weight of all material above it. Since the rock cannot move, it cannot deform.
