The loss of strength in compression with simultaneous gain in strength in tension due to overloading is known as
A. Hysteresis
B. Creep
C. Visco elasticity
D. Boeschinger effect
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
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
