the stress at which an elastic material under increasing stress ceases to behave elastically; under conditions of tensile strength the elongation is no longer proportional to the increase in stress
Also called: yield stress, yield strength
Examples of 'yield point' in a sentence
yield point
They also exhibit similar yield point behavior.
