Extension is increasing the elongation
proportional to load
➢ Stress = Load per unit area
➢ Strain = Deformation per unit length
➢ Steel Strength = the max. stress in the zone.
(yield strength, tensile strength)
➢ Steel Ductility = the max elongation %
➢ Stiffness (E) = Stress to Strain Ratio
(the slope of the inclined line)
