The stress-strain curves for brass, steel and rubber are shown in the figure. The lines A, B and, C are for
Rubber, brass and steel respectively
Brass, steel and rubber respectively
Steel, brass and rubber respectively
Steel, rubber and brass respectively
Y = tan θ. According to figure θA>θB>θC
i.e., tan θA>tan θB>tan θC
or YA> YB>YC
∴ A, B and C graph are for steel, brass and rubber respectively.
