What is yield strength? Yield strength is a material property that indicates the maximum stress a material can withstand before it deforms permanently. In simpler terms, it’s the point at which a material stops behaving elastically and starts to exhibit plastic deformation. Key points about yield strength: Elastic vs. Plastic Deformation: Elastic deformation: The material returns to its original shape when the stress is removed. Plastic deformation: The material remains permanently deformed. Stress-Strain Curve: The yield strength is typically determined by examining the stress-strain curve of a material. It’s the point where the curve deviates from a straight line. Importance: Yield strength is crucial in engineering applications, as it helps […]
