AnnexureA
(clause7.7.3)

DeterminationofOffsetyieldstrength
A. Offset yield strength the stress at which the strain exceeds by a specified amount (the offset) an extension of the initial proportional portion of the stressstrain curve. It is expressedinforceperunitarea,usuallymegapascals. 1. This measurement is useful for materials whose stressstrain curve in the yield range is of gradual curvature. The offset yield strength can be derived from a stressstrain curve asfollows, 2. OnthestrainaxislayoffOMequaltothespecifiedoffset. 3. DrawOAtangenttotheinitialstraightlineportionofthestressstraincurve. 4. Through M draw a line MN parallel to OA and locate the intersection of MN with the stressstraincurve.

Strain Fig.5Offsetyieldstrength The stress at the point of intersection r is the offset yield strength. The specified value of the offset must be stated as a percent of the original gage length in conjunction with the strength value. Example: 0.1% offset yield strength = ____MPa, or yield strength at 0.1 % offset = ___MPa.
