____ is defined as the maximum load, per unit of area, to which a material will respond with a deformation directly proportional to the load.
A) Elastic limit
B) Elasticity
C) Tensile strength
D) Yield limit

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum load, per unit of area, to which a material will respond with a deformation directly proportional to the load is called the elastic limit. At this point, the material can return to its original shape and size when the load is removed. Beyond this point, the material will experience permanent deformation and eventually fail.
