Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Effect of Time and Temperature on the Strength of Steel and Iron
When iron or steel is subjected to tensional stress sufficient to cause a permanent stretch in the material, it is well known that the ductility of the material is reduced, and that ultimately the elastic limit rises.
As a. First consequence, however, the elastic limit is first of all lowered-inseme cases to zero, but if the bar be left to itself the elastic limit ultimately rises to a higher value than before.
