alleryOn a stress strain curve, the yield point is also known by which name?
AThe elastic limit
BThe plastic limit
CThe fracture limit
DThe thermal limit
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The elastic limit
1. Up to this point the body still returns to its original dimension.
2. Past it the body no longer recovers when the load is taken off.
3. So the yield point is also known as the elastic limit.
