Plastic Point in Flexure
Test ID
M-036
Description
Cyclic tests are performed on a material, in which the material is flexed to incrementally increasing extensions and then unloaded in between. Imposed and residual strains are recorded. Up to thirty extensions are used. A strain vs. residual strain curve is generated. Plastic point is calculated from the intersection of the two asymtotes from the pre-yield and post-yield portions of the plots.

Application
This test defines a non-linear elastic limit of plastics and the subsequent plasticity or hardening curve.
