Yielding
Yield strength is the stress beyond
which a material becomes
plastic deformation is permanent
Determined by standard tensile testing procedures
Units
MPa MN/m2
psi lb/in2

Concept of dislocation
In 1934 Taylor, Orowan and Polanyi postulated the
presence of dislocations as a mechanism of weakening of a
crystal.
Concept of dislocation
They showed that atom bond breakage on the
slip plane could be restricted to the immediate
vicinity of the bottom edge of the half plane
As the dislocation moves through the crystal
bond breakage across the slip plane occurs
consecutively rather than simultaneously as was
the case in perfect crystal
