What is yield point?
The yield point is the point on a stress-strain curve where a material begins to deform plastically. Before this point, deformation is elastic and reversible. Beyond it, the material undergoes permanent change.

Strain at maximum stress explained
Stress is the applied force, and strain is the resulting deformation. As a specimen is loaded, both stress and strain increase until stress reaches its peak value before the material starts to weaken.

How to Calculate UTS
This gives a value in N/mm² or MPa. During a tensile test, the material is pulled until it breaks. The highest recorded force, divided by the original cross-sectional area, gives the UTS. This value is the peak on a stress-strain curve.
