The load per unit of original cross section at which, in soft
steel, a marked increase in deformation occurs without increase
in load.
The stress (load/area) at which the metal changes from elastic
to plastic in behavior, i.e., takes a permanent set.
The coefficient of elasticity of stretching. For a stretched wire,
Young’s Modulus is the ratio of stretching force per unit
cross-sectional area to the elongation per unit length. The values
of Young’s Modulus for metals are of the order 10 12 dynes
per square cm. (See Modulus of Elasticity)
