The loss of strength in compression which occurs, when there is a gain of strength in tension due to over loading is called__________________?
Correct answer: A. Bauschinger effect
- A. Bauschinger effect
- B. Hooke's effect
- C. Hysteresis
- D. Relaxation
Explanation
The Bauschinger effect is the reduction in yield strength in compression after a material has been plastically strained in tension, and vice versa. Hysteresis concerns energy loss during cyclic loading, not this directional change in strength.
