Creep is time-dependent plastic deformation that is usually significant only at high temperatures.
EK429
The plastic design method is based on the following assumptions: The material has the capacity to undergo considerable plastic deformation without danger of fracture. Ductility of steel (that is, a […]
EK383
Relative deformation capacities of the elements in the load path: Plates in bending. Relatively large elastic deformation. Large deformation capacity when plastic hinges form. Plates in tension and plates in […]
EK252
Concrete is an elastoplastic material, and beginning with small stresses, plastic strains develop in addition to elastic ones. Under sustained load, plastic deformation continues to develop over a period that […]
EK91
The ability of metals to undergo plastic deformation is called ductility.
EK90
For most metallic materials, elastic deformation persists only to strains of about 0,005. As the material is deformed beyond this point, Hooke’s law ceases to be valid, i.e. stress is […]
EK69
For most materials after the initial yield point has been reached,the stress-strain curve continues to rise although the slope becomes progressively less, until the slope falls to zero as failure […]
