Stress-Strain Curve

Interactive stress-strain diagram for a ductile metal. Identify the elastic region, yield point, UTS, strain hardening, and fracture.

Parameters

Key Concepts

  • • Elastic region: stress proportional to strain — slope is Young's modulus E
  • • Yield point: onset of permanent plastic deformation
  • • Strain hardening: material strengthens as dislocations accumulate
  • • UTS: maximum engineering stress; necking begins here
  • • Toughness = area under the curve (energy absorbed per unit volume)
  • • Steel: σ_y ≈ 250 MPa, UTS ≈ 400 MPa. Aluminium: σ_y ≈ 270 MPa (6061-T6)
