Stress-Strain Diagram: Ductile Materials
Examples: steel, alloys of other metals
For most brittle materials, one finds that the ultimate strength in
compression is much larger than that in tension due to
presence of flaws, that tend to weaken the material in tension,
while not appreciably affecting it resistance to compression failure.
It is noteworthy to say that for a given steel, the yield strength is
the same in both tension and compression.
It should be indicate that necking (of steel) cannot occur in
compressions. Instead, the cylindrical specimen, that is usually
used, plugs under compressive stress.
Stress-Strain Diagram: Yielding Point
For ductile materials the yield stress is taken to be the lower yield
point (load require to maintain yield). However , for a ductile
material, such as aluminum alloy with no clear yielding point, the
offset method is used to determine the yield point.

The stress level may not exceed the yield limit, yet the specimen

δB/A = δB − δA
The rigid bar BDE is supported by two links AB and CD. Link AB is made of
aluminum (E = 70 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of 500 mm2. Link
CD is made of steel (E = 200 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of (600
mm2). For the 30-kN force shown, determine the deflection a) of B, b) of D,
and c) of E.
