The stress at which a material first deforms plastically is called what?
AUltimate strength
BFracture stress
CBulk stress
DYield strength
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Yield strength
The stress at the yield point is the yield strength; beyond it the strain rises rapidly and deformation is plastic.
