Deformation mechanisms refer to the processes and mechanisms by which materials change shape or dimension under applied stress or load. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial in fields such as materials science, engineering, geology, and mechanics, as they help predict how materials will behave under various conditions. Here are some common types of deformation mechanisms: 1. **Elastic Deformation**: This is a reversible process where materials deform when a stress is applied but return to their original shape when the stress is removed.
