Is elastic strain permanent?
Could you please clarify for me, is elastic strain a permanent deformation within a material when subjected to stress? Is it reversible, meaning once the stress is removed, the material returns to its original shape and size, or does it retain some of the deformation, indicating a more permanent change? Understanding this distinction is crucial in various fields, from engineering to materials science, and I'd appreciate your insight.

What does elastic strain do?
Could you please elaborate on the concept of elastic strain? I'm curious to understand how it impacts materials and structures when subjected to stress. Specifically, how does it differ from plastic strain, and what are the key factors that determine whether a material will exhibit elastic or plastic behavior under stress? Additionally, are there any real-world applications where understanding elastic strain is crucial for ensuring the safety and performance of a system?
