Strain-induced behavior

Strain-induced behavior refers to how materials change or respond when they are stretched, compressed, or bent. When a force is applied, the material experiences internal changes—such as deformation, stress, or electrical alterations—that can alter its properties or performance. For example, some materials generate electricity when bent (piezoelectric effect), or become stronger or weaker depending on how they are deformed. Understanding this behavior helps in designing resilient structures, electronics, and materials that can withstand or utilize these changes for specific functions.
