11. Ductile materials can sustain large plastic deformations without fracture. 12. Reaching the surface means the material undergoes plastic deformations . 13. Because dislocation motion is hindered, plastic deformation cannot occur at normal stresses. 14. Now as metals become warmer, their resistance to further plastic deformation decreases. 15. I'd say it will undergo elastic deformation, not plastic deformation . 16. The result is a permanent change of shape within the crystal and plastic deformation . 17. Most materials in the linear-elastic category are usually capable of plastic deformation . 18. Unlike most thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo large plastic deformations without cracking or breaking. 19. Work hardening is a consequence of plastic deformation , a permanent change in shape. 20. Therefore, these bonds break at relatively lower stresses, leading to plastic deformation .
