<p>In <a href="page.php?w=engineering">engineering</a> and <a href="page.php?w=materials_science">materials science</a>, <b>necking</b> is a mode of tensile <a href="page.php?w=Deformation_%28engineering%29">deformation</a> where relatively large amounts of <a href="page.php?w=Deformation_%28mechanics%29">strain</a> localize disproportionately in a small region of the material.  The resulting prominent decrease in local cross-sectional area provides the basis for the name "neck".  Because the local strains in the neck are large, necking is often</p><p>
