General Studies · Stress-Strain Behavior
The engineering stress-strain curve for ductile materials exhibits a peak at the ultimate tensile strength because:
- 1the elastic modulus decreases abruptly
- 2strain softening dominates over strain hardening across the entire sample
- 3the material starts weakening rapidly at the microstructural level
- 4necking begins to occur, causing engineering stress to become less than true stress✓
Correct answer
necking begins to occur, causing engineering stress to become less than true stress
