where F is the axial force measured by the load cell, 𝐴𝑜 is the gauge length cross sectional area
of an unloaded specimen and u is the axial extension measured over the gauge length Lo.

Materials such as rock and ice may be plastically deformed at “high” temperatures or pressures. Some specialist glasses are
ductile at room temperature and traditional glass can also deform plastically over long periods of time through a mechanism
called creep.

ME414 Advanced Mechanics & Dynamics
Once the dislocation has moved past the impurity atom, the bond at the bottom-right of the
dislocation is highly distorted. The shear stress required to break this bond and keep the
dislocation moving is lower than that needed to “unpin” the dislocation. This behaviour is seen
in a tensile test stress strain curve as a drop in stress after upper yield. Dislocations move
through the material at this lower stress value until the material begins to work harden.

occurs at stress y’. This is called the elevated yield point: the apparent yield stress of the
material has been increased due to the plastic deformation of the material.
