Q: The property of the material or a structure indicating the extent to which it can deform beyond the limit of yield deformation before failure or fracture is termed as:
  • A. failure load
  • B. ductility
  • C. yielding
  • D. malleability
Correct Answer: Option B - The ductility of a material represent its ability to be drawn and shaped in to wire by means of tension. When tensile forces are applied the wire is formed by permanent deformation.
B. The ductility of a material represent its ability to be drawn and shaped in to wire by means of tension. When tensile forces are applied the wire is formed by permanent deformation.

Explanations:

The ductility of a material represent its ability to be drawn and shaped in to wire by means of tension. When tensile forces are applied the wire is formed by permanent deformation.
