INSTRUCTIONS

1.The subject entails a lot of readings. Be patient!

Patience is a virtue. In reading, you BECOME MORE!
2. Please read the various texts carefully so that you can
comprehend easily.
3. You can consult google or dictionaries for clearer
understanding of terms and concepts met in the texts.
4. Do the different activities required. Do not leave any
activity undone.
5. Please follow instructions. Feel free to ask me via
messenger (Sherwin Villamil Borja) or text (09197836157) for
clarification on directions.

 6. Answer questions with all honesty. Success does not come
from copying from others. It is made possible by trying hard on
your own so that you can learn even from your mistakes.
7. Review your answers. It is safe to go back and think
about what you have written. This can help you lessen if not
avoid errors.
8. Do not delay in doing and submitting your requirements.
This can help you avoid having a pile of unfinished activities.
9. Have fun as you learn. When you are having fun, you can
surely learn the lessons.

J metal rod is
at point C

GREEN

We can say that elastic limit is the point beyond which a

material deformation occurs even after a release of the
load. Prepared by: Sir Sherwin V. Borja

LIGHTER GREEN

We can say that yield point is an arbitrary point in

stress-strain curve where the yield strength of a material
is taken 0.2% of plastic deformation. Prepared by: Sir Sherwin V. Borja
ULTIMATE
