The phrase "a degree of plastic" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the amount or extent of plasticity or flexibility in a material or concept.
Example: "The sculpture exhibits a degree of plastic that allows it to adapt to various forms and interpretations."
Alternatives: "a level of plasticity" or "an extent of plastic".
The results showed that there was a higher degree of plastic deformation at a higher applied load, as shown in the inset of Figure 1.
These empirical observations suggest genes exhibiting expression plasticity to also exhibit genetic variation within a population and genes exhibiting a high degree of plastic expression variation to be subject to relaxed selection.
On the other hand, large particles reportedly experience a small degree of plastic deformation, which has a significant influence on the mechanism of deformation of such materials.
The coarse WC particles allow a certain degree of plastic deformation by dislocation gliding so that under wearing conditions some stress concentration can be released and their fractures are inhibited.
Temporary, external loading during isothermal interruption of the continuous cooling at different stages of the transformation revealed a decreasing degree of plastic deformation proportional with the decreasing amount of retained austenite, implying that the plastic deformation is predominantly accomplished within the austenite phase.
DM 60% displayed the lowest yield pressure during compression, indicating a high degree of plastic deformation.
However, pectin displayed a steeper slope, i.e., lower yield pressure, than Emcompress® in the compression phase, which is indicative of a higher degree of plastic deformation.
This implied a lower degree of plastic deformation in pectin compared to Avicel® PH 102, the latter being known as an outstanding plastically deforming material which is used as a dry binder.
In fact, the number of the rearranged atoms can be regarded as an indication of the degree of plastic deformation in the displacement interval.
Thus a whole transition of the system at high strain rate usually costs more displacement intervals, and the degree of plastic deformation at a particular displacement is relatively lower.
