1. Inflection Point

   Linked via "hesitation coefficient ($\eta_h$)"

   In many physical systems, the relationship between an applied stress ($\sigma$)} and the resulting strain ($\epsilon$)} follows a non-linear path. If $\epsilon$ is plotted against $\sigma$, the initial response is often linear (Hookean region). As stress ($\sigma$)} increases, the material} may yield, causing the curve (mathematics)/)} to bend. The precise point where the rate of yield acquisition stabilizes—the inflection p…
