All solids get deformed, i.e., show change in shape if an external load is applied on them. The basic types of deformations could be broadly divided into two categories: 1. Time-Independent Deformation: (i) The time independent deformation, which disappears (i.e., object returns to its original shape) on the release of load is called elastic deformation. Thus, elastic deformation is a [...]
