If the reloading is reversed in compression, the compressive yield strength is decreased, which is called the Bauschinger effect.
EK442
Usually, when the yield strength of a material is increased through strain hardening, the ductility of the material is reduced.
EK441
Loading the specimen into the inelastic range, but not to ultimate strength, increases the apparent elastic range. The phenomenon, called strain hardening, or work hardening, appears to increase the yield […]
EK357
Tresca proposed that yielding occurs when the maximum shear stress reaches the shear yield strength.
EK313
Limit design in reinforced concrete refers to the redistribution of moments that occurs throughout a structure as the steel reinforcement at a critical section reaches its yield strength.
EK58
The yield strength of steel at 20 degrees Celsius is reduced by about 50% at 550 degrees Celsius and at 1000 degrees Celsius it is 10% or less of its […]
