Помогите, плиз, понять принципиальную разницу по сабжу.

Заранее спасибо.

Первое — yield point
the stress at which an elastic material under increasing stress ceases to behave elastically; under conditions of tensile strength the elongation is no longer proportional to the increase in stress
Also called: yield stress, yield strength

7.4.1 Any convenient speed of testing may be used up to
one half the specified yield point or yield strength. When this
point is reached, the free-running rate of separation of the
crossheads shall be adjusted so as not to exceed 1⁄16 in. per min
per inch of reduced section, or the distance between the grips
for test specimens not having reduced sections. This speed
shall be maintained through the yield point or yield strength. In
determining the tensile strength, the free-running rate of
separation of the heads shall not exceed 1⁄2 in. per min per inch
of reduced section, or the distance between the grips for test
specimens not having reduced sections. In any event, the
minimum speed of testing shall not be less than 1⁄10 the
specified maximum rates for determining yield point or yield
strength and tensile strength.
