Can a TI-84slinger explain this for us pipette-wielders?

Past the elastic deformation region / yield stress you get plastic deformation, which even when the stress is completely removed there is permanent deformation.

Gotcha. Thanks! Do the points P, E, Y, U, and F stand for something or are the letters arbitrary?

Plastic deformation point, elastic deformation point, yield point, ultimate strength, and failure point

And here I was thinking it was: F U, yep.
