Elastic Recovery after Plastic Deformation of Metals

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
Metals can recover their original shape after being stretched to a certain limit, determined by the metal's yield strength. Beyond that, the metal experiences plastic deformation and cannot return to its original shape. Trying to bring the metal back to its original shape results in a decrease in its length and diameter.
