Yield (engineering) — The yield strength or yield point of a material is defined in engineering and materials science as the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically. Prior to the yield point the material will deform elastically and will return to its… … Wikipedia
yield point — ▪ mechanics in mechanical engineering, load at which a solid material that is being stretched begins to flow, or change shape permanently, divided by its original cross sectional area; or the amount of stress in a solid at the onset of… … Universalium

Stress analysis — is an engineering discipline that determines the stress in materials and structures subjected to static or dynamic forces or loads (see statics and dynamics) (alternately, in linear elastic systems, strain can be used in place of stress). The aim … Wikipedia
Stress (physics) — Stress is a measure of the average amount of force exerted per unit area. It is a measure of the intensity of the total internal forces acting within a body across imaginary internal surfaces, as a reaction to external applied forces and body… … Wikipedia

Yield surface — A yield surface is a five dimensional surface in the six dimensional space of stresses. The state of stress of inside the yield surface is elastic. When the stress state lies on the surface the material is said to have reached its yield point and … Wikipedia
Stress–strain curve — During testing of a material sample, the stress–strain curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between stress, derived from measuring the load applied on the sample, and strain, derived from measuring the deformation of the sample … Wikipedia
