    Question

    Loss of stress with time at constant strain in steel is called as-

    A.

    Ductility

    B.

    Relaxation

    C.

    Creep

    D.

    Shrinkage

    Correct option is B


    The loss of stress with time at constant strain in steel is known as relaxation. This phenomenon occurs when a material, such as steel, experiences a decrease in stress over time while the strain remains constant.
    Ductility: Refers to the ability of a material to undergo significant deformation before rupture.
    Creep: Refers to the tendency of a material to slowly deform under a constant load over time, which is somewhat similar but not specifically about stress loss at constant strain.
    Shrinkage: Typically refers to the reduction in volume of materials like concrete due to moisture loss.
    Therefore, the correct answer is (b) Relaxation.
