Explaining Stress-Strain Graph:
The stress-strain diagram has different points or regions as follows:
- Proportional limit
- Elastic limit
- Yield point
- Ultimate stress point
- Fracture or breaking point
(i) Proportional Limit
The region in the stress-strain curve that observes Hooke's Law is known as the proportional limit. According to this limit, the ratio of stress and strain provides us with the proportionality constant known as young's modulus. In the graph point, OA is known as the proportional limit.
(ii) Elastic Limit
Elastic limit is the maximum stress that a substance can endure before permanently being deformed. When the load acting on the object is completely removed and the material returns to its original position, that point is known as the object's elastic limit.
(iii) Yield Point
The point at which the material starts showing to deform plastically is known as the yield point of the material. Once the yield point of an object is crossed, plastic deformation occurs. There are two types of yield points (i) upper yield point (ii) lower yield point.
(iv) Ultimate Stress Point
The point at which a material endures maximum stress before failure is known as the Ultimate Stress point. After this point, the material will break.
(v) Fracture or Breaking Point
In the stress-strain curve, the point at which the failure of the material takes place is known as the breaking point of the material.
