Bowing
The same as bending, plastic deformation or
permanent deformation. When a metal is
subjected to a stress it will bend or stretch
just slightly. When that stress or load which
caused the stretch is removed the stretch or
bend disappears and the metal returns to its
original shape/form. This type of stretch is
elastic deformation. When the stress or load
exceeds a certain limit (elastic limit of the
metal) or amount, the stretch or bend becomes
permanent. This is the term permanent
deformation. |
