All materials undergo deformation under a certain load and stress. This is either in the form of elastic deformation or plastic deformation.
In elastic deformation, when the load and stress are removed, the material regains its original form. The deformation in the material is temporary.

In plastic deformation, the material does not regain its original state when the load and stress are removed. The deformation in the material is permanent.
