In case of mild steel, the value of the stress at elastic limit is
Strength of MaterialsStrength of MaterialsMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
Same as that at limit of proportionality
B
More than that at limit of proportionality
C
Less than that at limit of proportionality
D
Independent and cannot be compared
Correct Answer
A. Same as that at limit of proportionality
Why is this the answer?
For mild steel, the limit of proportionality and the elastic limit are practically identical, though the elastic limit is theoretically slightly higher.
