Proportional limit is the maximum stress for which strain remains proportional to stress. As it is usually not obvious, industry accept to use offset method 0.0001 in/in. Yield stress is stress level which detrimental damage is assumed to occur (plasticity). This point is also not exhibited well in certain metal, so industry accept to use offset method 0.002 in/in.

What is difference between limit of proportionality and tensile strength?

The proportional limit is the stress value at which the stress is no longer linear with strain. After that, the material will begin to yield and become non-linear, or plastic, and then it will fail at a higher value called the tensile strength. For most metals, the proportional limit is well below the tensile strength; for example annealed stainless steel has a proportional limit near 30 ksi and tensile strength of 80 ksi; aluminum has a proportional limit of 35 ksi and tensile strength of 42 ksi.

What is Difference between elastic limit and proportional limit?

Proportionality limit is the point upto which the stress remains directly proportional to strain whereas elastic limit is the point upto which the material remains elastic ie. if the stress is removed within elastic limit, then the material will regain its original shape and size.

What is difference between the proportional limit and the yield point of a string that has been over stretched?

proportional limit is value of stress that beyond which it is nonlinear; prior to that the stress strain diagram is a straight line. At yield, the material strain will not return to zero after unloading and have a permanent set


What is the difference between season and limit?

Season is season but Limit is limit.


What is the difference between muscular strength and muscular power?

muscular strength is the capacity or the limit of your muscle. muscular power is how much can your muscle exert.


Is there any difference between the fatigue limit and endurance limit?

no


Is the ratio of stress-strain in the region below the proportional limit on the stress-strain curve?

stress is directly proportional to strain up to the proportional limit. Their ratio is young's modulus.


How do you improve the resolution?

Get a bigger telescope. Resolution is proportional to the size of the telescope. But due to the atmosphere, there is a practical limit beyond which it makes no difference what the telescope size is.


What is Yield Strengths?

Yield strength is the stress at which a specified amount of permanent deformation of a material occurs. When we apply stress to a material, it deforms. Some of the deformation is plastic and the material can recover when the stress is relieved. But some deformation is permanent and the material cannot recover from it. As we apply more stress, there is more deformation. This plots on a curve in a somewhat linear, or proportional, way. But at some point, a bit more stress results in a lot more deformation, and this is the proportional limit of the material. Stress applied beyond this causes an increasing rate of deformation until the maximum or ultimate strength of the material is reached. (Beyond that it will fail completely.) Somewhere between the proportional limit and the ultimate strength of the material is the yield strength. The yield strength of a material cannot be calculated for any material. It must be arrived at through (repeated) experiment and statistical analysis. Use the link below to the related question, and the other links to related articles that explain more about yield strength.
