limit of proportionality

limit of proportionality
the stress (load divided by original area of cross section of the test piece) at which the strain (elongation per unit of gauge length) ceases to be proportional to the corresponding stress. It is usually determined from a load-elongation diagram, obtained by plotting extensometer readings and is the stress at which the load-elongation line ceases to be straight.
