YIELD STRESS, y

• Boundary stress between elastic & plastic deformation regions


• Difficult to assess threshold over which elastic behavior deviates
from linearity (related to so-called proportional limit)

Trade ε = 0.2 % tensile stress, 


• Yield stress determines y
resistance of a material to
plastic strain
