How Does Material Elasticity Actually Impact Your Pneumatic System Performance?
Elastic deformation in pneumatic systems causes positioning errors, dynamic response variations, and stress concentration that can lead to premature failures. These effects are governed by Hooke’s Law, Poisson’s ratio relationships, and plastic deformation thresholds that determine whether deformation is temporary or permanent. Understanding these principles can improve positioning accuracy by 30-60% and extend component life by 2-3 times.
