Stress-strain diagram with 4 materials graphed. The graph with maximum yield strength is B.
What is stress?
Stress is defined as the force applied per unit area of cross-section. It is denoted by Sigma(σ). Its's unit is same as the pressure i.e. N/m².
Considering the stress-strain diagram shown here. Assumed all four material samples denoted as (A-D) were originally the same size and shape.
When a body is stretched by a tensile force, it stretches more and more until it reaches its elastic limit. There comes a point where the body no longer stretches. The change in stress is very less and the stress is greater at the yield point. The strength required up to the yield point is called as the yield strength. The body breaks while forming the neck of the bottle. This strength of any material is known as ultimate stress at break or ultimate tensile strength.
So, the material with the highest yield strength is B.
Thus, the correct option is B.
