[edit] Merge with "Deformation mechanism map"

I am wondering if someone with experience in this area can judge whether the page deformation mechanism maps can be merged with this one.--Nathan Clement 15:28, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deformation of elastomers

I removed "As the name implies, elastic (rubber) has a rather large elastic deformation range." from the elastic deformation section because it is questionable.

Elastomers (including rubber) clearly return to their original length after large deformations, however as stated in their article they have a very non-linear response to stress and elastic deformation is usually characterised by a linear response. I don't know enough to correct the statement but thought it should be removed until someone who does comes along. 137.205.78.240 (talk) 11:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
