Because that is the definition of "elastic limit"! How far you can stretch something without deformation. The reason it will deform is because the forces become too great, and the atoms change their...
Elastic objects are used in everyday's life.. and here are some examples that may help :) : Trampolines Garage Door Micetraps Matresses The spring found in ballpoint pens Hooke's law apparatus Rubber...
The maximum stress at which the material will undergo elastic strain (recoverable deformation). At stress above this, plastic strains will occur (permanent deformation). Depending on the confining...
