The loss of strength in compression with simultaneous gain in strength in tension due to overloading is known as_____________?

Strength Of Materials Mcqs

A. Hysteresis
B. Inelasticity
C. Creep
D. Bauschinger effect
E. Visco-elasticity

The Bauschinger effect refers to a property of materials where the material’s stress/strain characteristics change as a result of the microscopic stress distribution of the material.
For example, an increase in tensile yield strength occurs at the expense of compressive yield strength
