The behaviour of a metal specimen, which when plastically strained in tension reduces its yield stress in compression and vice versa; is termed as the_______________?

Correct answer: B. Bauschinger effect

  • A. Work hardening
  • B. Bauschinger effect
  • C. Creeping effect
  • D. Stress recovery effect

Explanation

The Bauschinger effect occurs when prior plastic deformation in one direction lowers the yield stress during reverse loading. Work hardening, in contrast, generally raises resistance to further deformation in the same direction.
