  3. Point of maximum strain
  4. Point of fracture

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following best describes the term 'elastic limit'?
  • Step 1: Understand that materials can change shape when force is applied to them.
  • Step 2: Recognize that there are two types of changes: temporary (elastic) and permanent (plastic).
  • Step 3: The elastic limit is the point at which a material stops returning to its original shape after the force is removed.
  • Step 4: If the stress (force per area) on the material exceeds this limit, it will not return to its original shape and will be permanently deformed.
