Within the elastic limit, the corresponding stress is known as
Options
- Atensile strength
- Byield strength
- Celastic fatigue
- Dyield point
Correct answer
B. yield strength
Step-by-step solution
In the stress-strain curve of a material, the elastic limit is the maximum stress that a material can withstand without undergoing permanent deformation. The stress corresponding to the elastic limit is defined as the yield strength of the material. Beyond this point, the material begins to deform plastically. Answer: yield strength
