Plasticity

Plasticity

Plasticity is the property where an object loses its elasticity and undergoes irreversible deformation, even after the deformation forces are eliminated. If a material deforms irreversibly without increasing stress or load, then this is called ideal plasticity. For example, when a force is applied to an aluminum rod, it changes its shape, but it does not return to its original shape once the force is removed. Plastic deformation or ductility is thus a permanent deformation or change in the...

Plastic Deformations

Plastic Deformations

It is essential to understand how structural members behave under plastic deformation when the bending stress exceeds the material's yield strength. This state of deformation permanently alters the shape of the member, in contrast to the linear elastic behavior observed before yielding. The strain at any point in the member is expressed in terms of maximum strain. Notably, the neutral axis, which coincides with the centroid during elastic bending, shifts away from the centroid under plastic...

Plastic Deformations

Plastic Deformations

Plastic deformation represents a fundamental concept in materials science, which explains the irreversible change in the shape of a material when it experiences stress beyond its elastic capability. This phenomenon is important in structural engineering, especially in designing and analyzing cantilever beams—structures that are securely fixed at one end and bear loads at the opposite end. When these beams are subjected to loads within their elastic range, they will return to their...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Digital Health
Social Media Analytics

Background:

Social media adoption is rapidly increasing globally.
Plastic surgery residency programs in the U.S. are increasingly integrating social media into their curriculum.
There is a growing trend of plastic surgery programs utilizing social media platforms.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the utilization of Instagram by integrated plastic surgery residency programs.
To describe trends in Instagram adoption, post volume, and content among these programs.

Main Methods:

A survey of active Instagram accounts affiliated with integrated plastic surgery residency programs.
Data collection included account creation date, post count, follower/following numbers, engagement rates, and post content analysis.
Data were collected on May 12, 2020.

Main Results:

85.2% of integrated plastic surgery residency programs (69/81) had an Instagram presence, with a total of 5,544 posts.
The number of program accounts increased by 392% since 2018, indicating near saturation.
The most frequent content in top-liked posts was program/individual promotion (46%), followed by resident life (32%), plastic surgery promotion (14%), and education (8%).

Conclusions:

Instagram use by plastic surgery residency programs has significantly increased since 2018.
The trend towards near-universal adoption is expected to continue.
Potential negative impacts of poor social media practices on patients and the public outweigh the advantages for surgeons and trainees.
