For the nylon polymer, whose stress strain behavior may be observed in the "Tensile Tests" module of Virtual Materials Science and Engineering (VMSE), determine the following:
(a) The yield strength, and
(b) The approximate ductility, in percent elongation.
How do these values compare with those for the nylon material presented in Table15.1?
