- TL;DR Summary
- Say a sample undergoes uni-axial tension. It undergoes first linear and then plastic deformation and finally fails. Does the deformation of the sample decrease at failure?
My guess is that the deformation immediately before would be the sum of elastic and plastic deformation, and the deformation after would be just the plastic deformation, and it therefore would decrease. Is this correct?
