Yes. The slope is Young's modulus or Elastic modulus, and represents a linear relationship between stress and strain, i.e.ECU0406 said:is the offset yield point just a straight line with the same slope but shift .002 strain over?
The offset yield point theory, also known as the 0.2% offset yield strength, is a measure of the stress level at which a material begins to deform plastically. It is defined as the amount of stress required to produce a permanent strain of 0.2% in the material.
The offset yield point theory applies to a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. It is commonly used to measure the yield strength of metals, such as steel and aluminum, but can also be used for other materials with a yield point.
The accuracy of the offset yield point theory depends on several factors, including the type of material, the testing method, and the equipment used. In general, the theory provides a good estimate of the yield strength of a material, but it may not be completely accurate in all cases.
The offset yield point theory is most commonly used for tensile stress, but it can also be applied to other types of stress, such as compressive stress. However, it may not be as accurate for these other types of stress, so it is important to use caution when applying the theory to non-tensile stress situations.
There are a few limitations to the offset yield point theory. It assumes that the material behaves in a linear-elastic manner before reaching the yield point, which may not always be the case. Additionally, the theory does not take into account any microstructural changes that may occur in the material during deformation.
