bendability

Thân thiện

This material's bendability makes it perfect for flexible designs.

Definition

Noun: The quality or state of being able to be bent or flexed easily without snapping or breaking. It refers to physical pliability.

Usage

"Bendability" is a technical term used to describe a material's physical property. It is most commonly found in engineering, materials science, and manufacturing contexts when discussing the flexibility of substances like metals, plastics, or fibers.

Examples

• The bendability of this new polymer makes it ideal for flexible smartphone screens.
• Engineers tested the steel's bendability to ensure it could withstand stress without fracturing.
• A key factor in choosing a fishing rod is the bendability of its graphite composite.

Advanced Usage

• The term can be used metaphorically in non-technical contexts to describe adaptability, though this is less common.
  • The bendability of the team's strategy allowed them to adapt to new market conditions.

Variants and Related Words

• Bendable (adjective): Capable of being bent.
  • A bendable straw.
• Flexibility (noun): The broader, more common synonym for the ability to bend without breaking. "Bendability" often implies a more specific, measurable physical property.
• Pliability (noun): The quality of being easily bent or shaped.
• Ductility (noun): (Specifically for metals) The ability to undergo plastic deformation under tensile stress (e.g., drawn into a wire).

Synonyms

Flexibility, pliability, suppleness, malleability (when referring to shaping), ductility (for metals).

Antonyms

Rigidity, stiffness, brittleness, inflexibility.
