Beyond the proportional limit Beyond yielding Beyond necking It is applicable for all strain levels Report this questionExplanationThe derivation of the true stress equation makes an assumption that the material volume remains constant duing the tensile test. This is no longer true once necking occurs, due to the sudden reduction in the cross-sectional area of the test piece, and as such this equation is only valid up to the onset of necking.Your Results Restart with New Questions Change Quiz Settings Review the Questions
