Flow plasticity theory is a framework used in materials science and engineering to describe the behavior of materials that undergo plastic deformation when subjected to stress. It is often applied to metals, polymers, and soils, among other materials. ### Key Concepts of Flow Plasticity Theory: 1. **Plastic Deformation**: This refers to the permanent deformation that occurs when a material is subjected to stress beyond its yield point. Unlike elastic deformation, which is reversible, plastic deformation leads to a permanent change in shape.
