← ScienceWhich consequence results when stress surpasses a crystal's yield strength?
A)Permanent plastic deformation will occur✓
B)Elastic strain returns to zero
C)Crystal lattice remains perfectly immobile
D)The material perfectly maintains original shape
💡 Explanation
Permanent plastic deformation is observed because dislocation slip within the crystal structure occurs above the yield strength limits the crystal's structure. Therefore, yielding causes dislocations; rather than perfect elasticity that would return the shape, as material strength is exceeded.
