Plasticity is the characteristic of a metal where it undergoes inelastic strains beyond the elastic limit.Until the elastic limit point, the strain that a metal undergoes is elastic, meaning the metal will regain its original dimensions upon unloading. For example, during a tensile test, a metal pulled in tension to a strain below its elastic limit will return to its original dimensions upon release.However, if a metal is strained beyond the elastic limit into the plastic region, the strain will be inelastic, meaning the metal will be unable to return to its original dimensions upon unloading. Large deformations in ductile materials result in plastic flow.Metals experience periods of both elastic and plastic deformation. On a stress-strain curve, the elastic region is followed by the plastic region. Oftentimes, the elastic limit is approximated as equal to the proportional limit and (for mild steel) the yield stress.
How far you can bend (or stretch) something before it fails to return to its original shape when released.
Chandrashekhar limit
Yes you can and you can return it as well. No time limit as long as you have the receipt.
Not necessarily. There is a distance, called the Roche limit, at which tidal forces on a moon will exceed the tensile strength of the material the moon is made of, at which point the moon will break into smaller pieces. The Roche limit has nothing to do with the size of the original orbit, other than the fact that the original orbit cannot be inside the Roche limit (or the moon would never have formed in the first place).
When a solid is stretched or compressed beyond the point that it can return to its original shape it has passed its elastic limit.
The rock will break because it can be stretched no farther. An object stretched beyond its elastic limit may be deformed (adopt a new permanent resting shape) or break.
Weight causes the elastic material to stretch. The material may be stretched beyond its elastic limit. If this happens, then the material rips or tears, or it does not return to its original size.
proportional limit is value of stress that beyond which it is nonlinear; prior to that the stress strain diagram is a straight line. At yield, the material strain will not return to zero after unloading and have a permanent set
If a force is too great, the elastic limit will be exceeded. After the elastic limit is an area called the plastic region. The object may be stretched further in this area, however it will not returned to its original shape and will be permanently distorted. Eventually, the object will reach its breaking point. If the force applied is within the elastic limit, the object will return to its original shape.
Elastic deformation means that while the force is applied to a body some deformation ( bending , streching , etc) will take place but as soon as the force is removed the body will return to its original shape with no defects.

The skin of the balloon will only stretch so far, before giving out and bursting.

On a stress strain curve the elastic limit is the point where the straight portion curve first starts to curve. When load is removed strain will return to zero. The yield point is a point on the curve just beyond the elastic limit. When load is removed strain will not return to zero. It will return approximately as a straight line parallel to the original, and have an offset strain value. The yield point offset is arbitrary but usually defined as 0.2% (.002 permanent strain) as most common strain devices can measure that amount.
