Question

how does the stretching force affect the elongation of the material​

Answer 1

Tensile stress and strain occur when the forces are stretching an object, causing its elongation, and the length change ΔL is positive. Compressive stress and strain occur when the forces are contracting an object, causing its shortening, and the length change ΔL is negative.

Answer 2

Hey mate here is your answer.

• For stresses beyond the elastic limit, a material exhibits plastic behavior. This means the material deforms irreversibly and does not return to its original shape and size, even when the load is removed. When stress is gradually increased beyond the elastic limit, the material undergoes plastic deformation.
