Figure 1 - ENGINEERING STRESS-STRAIN CURVE Tensile tests sometimes produce stress-strain curves that do not follow the "classic" shape shown in Figure 1. As a result, the calculated slope of the modulus line may be incorrect; leading to an invalid offset yield strength. Reasons for invalid offset yield strength values: 1. Non-linearities and or discontinuities in the linear elastic region of the stress-strain curve. These anomalies may be the result of misapplication of the extensometer to the sample and/or extensometer slippage during the test. 2. The extensometer collecting strain data was removed from the test specimen before sufficient strain data could be collected to satisfy the specified offset yield. 3. Specimen slipping in grips. See images below for an example of discontinuity causing a bad offset yield value and a fix for this problem:

Figure 2 - Extensometer slipping during the initial loading causing a distinct change in slope. Things you can do with this type of curve to get valid offset yield strength (see Figure 3): 1. Raise your data logging threshold so that the discontinuity in the initial part of the stress-strain curve is not reported. 2. Select points for modulus calculation in the linear part of the curve.
