(in materials that do not exhibit a well-defined yield point) the stress at which a specific amount of plastic deformation is produced, usually taken as 0.2 per cent of the unstressed length.
Example sentencesExamples
- High-strength structural carbon steels have yield strengths greater than 275 MPa and are available in various product forms.
- The yield strength is the stress required to produce a small-specified amount of plastic deformation.
- The main alloy ingredients offer high yield strengths.
- It's yield strength is less than the force needed to subduct it.
- Medium-carbon ultrahigh-strength steels are structural steels with yield strengths that can exceed 1380 MPa.
