Yield Strength
Indication of maximum stress that can be developed in a material without causing plastic deformation. It is the stress at which a material exhibits a specified permanent deformation and is a practical approximation of elastic limit. Offset yield strength is determined from a stress-strain diagram. It is the stress corresponding to the intersection of the stress-strain curve, and a line parallel to its straight line portion offset by a specified strain. Offset for metals is usually specified as 0.2%, i.e., the intersection of the offset line and the 0-stress axis is at 0.2% strain. Offset for plastics is usually 2%.
