In physics, plasticity refers to the property of materials that allows them to undergo irreversible deformation when subjected to an external force or stress. This means that once the force is removed, the material does not return to its original shape or size but retains the new shape. Plasticity is a key concept in materials science and engineering, as it is critical for understanding how materials behave under various loading conditions.
