Reply to comment by picklesTommyPickles in When something is bent (a metal ruler for example) and returns to its original shape, what is happening on the molecular level? Where is the information of the original shape stored and what forces do the unbending? by JewNugget2525
Yes, that's literaly the cause of metal fatigue, if you bent a spoon back and forth enough times, it'll look ok but the slighest heating of shift and it breaks because you're breaking what's left of the oringinal form. This is the trick behind Yuri Geller rubbing spoons til they fall apart.
It's also why the british plane Comet crashed, the big windows let the metal flex enough just past the elastic limit to "fatigue" the metal and make little cracks in the structure. Over time they built up and you get planes falling from the sky.

Reply to Should I read The Martian by Andy Weir even if I’ve already watch the movie and remember most plot points? by CaregiverBig7228
I found them film to be a very well adapted, though shortened, copy of the book.
If you feel that way about the film, definately read the book, or listen to the well made audiobook.
