The greatest stress which may be produced in a material such that stress is directly proportional to the strain is know as_____________?

Correct answer: B. The proportional limit

  • A. The elastic limit
  • B. The proportional limit
  • C. The yield strength
  • D. Modulus of elasticity

Explanation

The proportional limit is the greatest stress at which stress remains directly proportional to strain, giving a straight-line portion of the stress-strain curve. The elastic limit is related but is defined by recovery without permanent deformation, not strict proportionality.
