|---|---|
| Elasticity | The ability of a material to return to its original shape after the stress is removed. |
| Plasticity | The ability of a material to undergo permanent deformation under load. |
| Resilience | The capacity of a material to absorb and release energy within the elastic limit. |
| Creep | The tendency of a material to deform permanently under the influence of mechanical stresses over time. |
A rod of material with Young's Modulus 200 GPa and coefficient of thermal expansion \(= 0.001 \), \(^\circ \mathrm{C}^{-1}\) is fixed at both ends and uniformly heated such that the rise in temperature is \(50 , ^\circ \mathrm{C}\). The stress developed in the rod is:
