What is elastic limit

Physics

ScanSolve AI Answer

The elastic limit is the maximum stress that a material can withstand without undergoing permanent deformation. If the stress applied to the material is removed before reaching this limit, the material will return to its original shape. If the stress exceeds the elastic limit, the material will deform permanently, meaning it will not fully return to its original shape even after the stress is removed.
