Question:

Which of the following statements related to stress-strain relation is correct

Show Hint

Hooke’s law is valid only in elastic region, not beyond yield point.
Updated On: May 1, 2026
  • Stress is linearly proportional to strain irrespective of the magnitude of the strain
  • Stress is linearly proportional to strain above the yield point
  • Stress is linearly proportional to strain for stress much smaller than at the yield point
  • Stress-strain curve is same for all materials
  • Stress is inversely proportional to strain

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


Concept:
Hooke’s Law: \[ \text{Stress} \propto \text{Strain} \quad (\text{within elastic limit}) \]

Step 1:
Elastic region.
Linear relation holds only for small stress.

Step 2:
Beyond yield point.
Material shows plastic behavior $\Rightarrow$ no linearity.

Step 3:
Conclusion.
\[ \text{Correct only for small stress values} \]
