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 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 type connective tissue is springlike and found in the middle walls of arteries?
Elastic Connective Tissue
What are the characteristics of elastic arteries?
The tunica interna of an elastic artery has subendothelial laminas of elastic fibres. Its tunica media has many fenestrated elastic membranes alternating with smooth muscle fibres. An elastic artery also has external elastic lamina. Its tunica externa is thin and contains vasa vasorum.
What are the types of rock deformation?
elastic deformation, ductile deformation and fracture
What type of deformation leads to earthquakes?
iT CHANGES THE SHAPE OF THE ROCK BUT DOES NOT CAUSE EARTHQUAKES
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 is it called when rocks bend instead of breaking?
Plastic deformation, either elastic or ductile.
What kind of deformation leads to deformation?
elastic deformation
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 elastic deform?
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 the source of elastic?
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.
Is it true Elastic deformation occurs when a material deforms as stress is applied?
Up to a point, it is possible to elastically deform any material. If the force is released, the material relaxes back to its original shape. If a material is deformed too much, the deformation becomes permanent (plastic deformation) or fracture will occur in a non-ductile material such as glass.
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).
