What Does EL Stand For?
EL stands for Elastic Limit
The Elastic Limit (EL) is the maximum stress or strain that a material can withstand without undergoing permanent deformation. Beyond this threshold, a material will not return to its original shape upon the removal of the applied load. Understanding the elastic limit is crucial in engineering and materials science, as it helps in the design and selection of materials for various applications to ensure structural integrity and performance.
