Best Answer

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.

Mechanical energy (that causes the elastic deformation).


What causes elastic deformation?

Elastic deformation is caused by applied forces. It is also when solids are either twisted or pull and then return to its normal shape.


What is elastic force?

Elastic force is when something is being stretched or compressed.


What is an example of deformation?

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).


Which occurs at a lower stress value ductile deformation or elastic deformation?

Ductile deformation is when rock is given enough stress to break. If the stress is less, it will bend but not break.

What part of the curve represents the elastic deformation of the material?

I assume you mean the curve of length against applied force (or mass) for a wire. The beginning part of the curve should be a straight line, and this is where the deformation is elastic. When the substance passes its elastic limit, the line starts to curve up.
