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.
