plastic deformation, plastic flow, plastic yield, plastic strain, creep
inelastic distortion of materials under applied stresses that strain the material beyond the elastic limit, rakendatud pingete all olevate materjalide mitteelastne moondumine, mis pingutavad materjali elastsest piirist kaugemale, deformatsioon, mille korral keha esialgne kuju pärast deformatsiooni lakkamist ei taastu, type of deformation is not undone simply by removing the applied force
