The stress strain curve shows the __________ behavior of a material
elastic
the point at which any permanent deformation is first observed:
elastic limit / proportional limit
Deformation of 0.1% is observed
yield strength
Maximum Load / Ultimate Tensile Strength
maximum load the wire can sustain after some permanent deformation
area of the curve up to the proportional limit. (Energy Storage)
Resilience
amount of permanent bending a wire can stand before breaking
Formability
distance a wire will bend elastically before permanent deformation
Range
