Change in the shape of a material as the result of the force of compression or expansion. Upon release of the force, the material returns to its original shape. Also called plastic deformation.
A change of shape without impairment of the elastic properties of the material. A deformation with resulting stress inside of the elastic limit.
A change in the shape of a material from its original shape caused by stress which does not result in the permanent rearrangement of the atoms within the material. In other words, when the stress is removed the material returns to its original shape.
A non-permanent deformation, in which the material reverts to its original shape after the load is released.
The temporary change in shape produced in an elastic substance by a stress that is less than the elastic limit of the substance.
Change in shape that returns when a stress is removed.
The part of the total strain in a material under stress that recovers upon removal of the stress.
Deformation that is nonpermanent, that is totally recoverable upon release of an applied stress.
The portion of deformation of an object under load which can be recovered after the load is removed.
A change in a substance whereby it reverts to its original dimensions on release of an applied stress.
A temporary dimensional change induced by stress. The body returns to its original dimensions when the stress is removed if its elastic limit has not been surpassed.
A change in dimensions directly proportional to and in phase with an increase or decrease in applied force.
materials return to their original shape after a small load or stress is applied.
A reaction from applied loads where pavement returns to its original position after the load is removed. Compare to permanent deformation under Rutting.
Nonpermanent deformation, totally recovered upon release of an applied stress.
The part of the deformation of an object under load which is recoverable when the load is removed.
Change of dimensions accompanying stress in the elastic range, original dimensions being restored upon release of stress.
The temporary and reversible displacement of bearing components under the influence of an external force.
