Plastic deformation is the ability of bend or deform before breaking.

塑性变形就是在断裂前弯曲或变形的能力。

However, sometimes we can take advantage of plastic deformation. The crumple zones in a car absorb energy by undergoing plastic deformation before they break.

然而，有时我们也能利用塑性变形。汽车上压皱的区域在它们断裂前通过经历塑性变形来吸收能量。

Off-line forecast shows that fuzzy neural network has high precision in predicting metal plastic deformation resistance.

离线预报表明：模糊神经网络预报金属塑性变形抗力有较高的精度。

Even if our basic theory is that economy is elastic in response to nominal stress and plastic in response to real stress, a sudden change in rigidity combined with a large nominal shock could cause a very large plastic deformation in the economy.
