Nonlinear material behavior refers to the response of materials that do not exhibit a direct proportionality between applied stress and resulting strain, leading to complex deformation patterns under load. This behavior is crucial in understanding and predicting the performance of materials in real-world engineering applications, where linear assumptions often fail.
