1. See setting. 2. See permenant deformation.
A material that is deflected so far that its elastic properties have been exceeded and it does not return to its original condition upon release of load is said to have taken a "permanent set."
Permanent change in shape due to applicationof stress.
The deformation remaining after a specimen has been stressed in tension for a definite period and released for a definite period.
the amount by which an elastic material fails to return to its original form after deformation.
The alteration in length of a piece of material which has been subjected to stress, remaining after the stress has been removed.
A structural change in a part caused by stretching, compression or distortion for which the elasticity of material does not permit the part to return to its original dimensional configuration.
When a piece of rubber is stretched and released it does not return to its exact original length but comes to rest somewhat longer that it was before stretching. The increase in length of the rubber strip, expressed as per cent of original length, is termed “permanent set
A change in the properties of wood which can occur during drying when stressing exceeds the elastic limit. Permanent set prevents normal shrinkage of the timber and can lead to more obvious defects such as casehardening and honeycombing.
The amount of deformation which remains in a sealant or adhesive after removal of a load.
The amount by which a material fails to return to its original dimensions after being deformed by an applied force or load.
The difference in length of a highly stressed spring upon release of a force.
The deformation remaining in a rubber specimen after a definite time of stress and relaxation.
A condition that comes from deflecting a spring beyond the elastic limits of the material; the spring does not return to its original condition when the load is released.
The deformation or strain remaining in a previously stressed body after release of the load.
