Deformation energy is the energy that is associated with the change in shape or form of a material when it is subjected to external forces or stresses. This energy is stored in the material as a result of the deformation process. Deformation energy is important in understanding the behavior of materials under different loading conditions.
When an object is stretched or squashed, the energy involved is potential energy stored in the object's deformation. This potential energy comes from the work done to change the object's shape. The amount of potential energy stored is directly related to the amount of deformation the object undergoes.
Strain energy can be stored in three primary ways: elastic deformation, plastic deformation, and fracture. Elastic deformation occurs when a material is stretched or compressed but returns to its original shape once the load is removed. Plastic deformation involves permanent changes to the material's shape due to excessive stress. Fracture occurs when the material reaches its breaking point and separates into two or more pieces, storing strain energy in the newly created surfaces.
When a material undergoes stretching or compression, the energy associated with this deformation is stored as potential energy in the bonds between the atoms or molecules of the material. The amount of energy stored is proportional to the amount of deformation applied to the material. This potential energy can be released as kinetic energy when the material returns to its original shape.
An inelastic collision does not conserve kinetic energy, as some of the initial kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat, sound, or deformation. This results in a decrease in the total kinetic energy of the system.
Yes, vehicles are designed with plastic deformation zones to absorb energy in a crash. These zones deform permanently to dissipate energy and protect the occupants. Elastic deformation allows the vehicle structure to absorb and then release energy, helping to maintain the integrity of the vehicle.

When a rubber band is stretched, it has elastic potential energy. This energy is stored in the rubber band as a result of the deformation of its shape.
elastic deformation
When a spring is loaded, it stores potential energy due to the deformation in its structure. The strength produced by a loaded spring is related to the stiffness of the spring (measured by its spring constant) and the amount of deformation it undergoes. This stored potential energy can then be released as kinetic energy when the spring is allowed to return to its original position.
Following an inelastic collision, kinetic energy can be converted into other forms of energy such as thermal energy, sound energy, and deformation energy.
