"yield behavior" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used to describe the actions or reactions of an individual in a particular situation. For example, "The student's yield behavior in class was reflective of his focus and determination to learn."
A model is proposed for the description of the viscoelastic and yield behaviour of polymer fibres.
The post yield behaviour showed strong dependency on polymer chain length.
However, experimental investigation has shown that the current prediction of the yield strength in engineering provides conservative results relative to the actual yield behaviour of the structures.
The experimental results confirmed that this proposed yield strength assessment enables accurate determination of the yield behaviour of line contact structures.
The Von Mises yield criterion [22] considers the yield behaviour as pressure-independent, assuming that the yield stresses in simple compression and tension have the same value, so depending only on the deviatoric stress tensor.
Ward [17] gave an extensive review of the yield behaviour of polymers, highlighting the dependence on the hydrostatic component of the stress, in contrast to other materials such as metals.
In particular, magnesium exhibits asymmetric plastic behaviour (i.e. different yield behaviours in tension and compression) and has lower ductility than these conventional alloys.
The result is therefore conservative as the post-yield behaviour of the material is not considered.
Micropillars were compressed to large strains under hydrated conditions to measure their anisotropic yield and post-yield behaviour.
The post-yield behaviour of glassy polymers is governed by intrinsic strain softening followed by strain hardening.
In addition, the use of hybrid wire mesh-epoxy-carbon fibre composite indicated better post-yield behaviour and prevented the debonding of the CFRP sheet.
