Abstract

In the simple tension test, materials deform elastically until stress reaches the yield point, after which plastic deformation starts as schematically shown in Fig. 2.2. Since there are nine stress components (or six components, if its symmetry is considered), combined loading of some or all of those components forms a yield surface, which defines a boundary of elasticity.
