YOUNG MODULUS

What happens at the Yield point?

• solid material that is being stretched begins to change shape permanently

• material begins to elastically deform

• Material is under high compressive forces and shrinks

What is the definition of tensile strength

• Resistance to localized plastic deformation induced by either mechanical indentation or abrasion.

• The external force acting on an object or surface parallel to the slope or plane in which it lies

• Maximum load that a material can support without fracture when being stretched.
