Yielding

Back to Case study
Yielding Lesson/Tutorial  When a load is applied to a material and is continually increased the material will deform.  At first, the deformed material will return to its original shape when the load is taken away.  But, at a larger load the material deforms permanently and cannot return to its original shape when the load is removed.  This transition from recoverable to permanent deformation is yielding.
