Best Answer

When a material deforms, it does so in several stages. The first stage, called the elastic region of deformation, is linear in nature and not permanent. A stress can be applied, and once it's removed, the material will regain all of the deformation. The second stage, plastic deformation, is permanent. A material that has been stressed into the plastic region will regain the elastic deformation, but will permanently maintain the plastic.

The proportional strength is the point at which plastic deformation begins.

How is strength related to flexibility?

My trainer said that strength is directly proportional to flexibility.


What is the gravitys strength on a black hole?

It depends on the mass of the black hole and your distance from it. The strength of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of your distance from the center.


What is difference between limit of proportionality and tensile strength?

The proportional limit is the stress value at which the stress is no longer linear with strain. After that, the material will begin to yield and become non-linear, or plastic, and then it will fail at a higher value called the tensile strength. For most metals, the proportional limit is well below the tensile strength; for example annealed stainless steel has a proportional limit near 30 ksi and tensile strength of 80 ksi; aluminum has a proportional limit of 35 ksi and tensile strength of 42 ksi.

False.


Doubling the thickness of a rope will multiply its strength by how much?

AnswerDoubling the thickness of the rope means the diameter is doubled.Since the strength is directly proportional to the diameter square,then the strength will be more by four times.


How do you apply inverse variation to problems?

If one value of a variable increases as another value of a different variable decreases in a mathematical equation, they are said to be inversely proportional or vary inversely. For example, the strength of the force of gravity decreases as the square of the interacting distance increases, so the strength of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, or strength ∝ 1/distance2.


Is phosphor bronze has high compressive strength?

The compressive strength of Phosphor Bronze is directly proportional to the tensile strength, For example 1/2 hard phosphor bronze has a Tensile Strength of 60 to 75 ksi and a Yield Strength of 45 to 70. For typical engineering calculations, the compressive strength can be considered equal to the yield strength.


How is flux related with the strength of the magnet?

directly proportional. the greater the flux per unit area, the stronger the field.


How is the strength of a covalent bond related to it's bond to its bond dissociation energy?

Greater the bond strength, greater is the bond dissociation energy. (So they are proportional to each other).
