Strain at yield is a property of materials. As with yield and fracture, there are six types of strain at yield, one for each of the six forces: impact, compressive, tensile, torsion, shear, and bending. Although in real life it represents the level of strain when forced by one of the forces, it is simplified greatly. Only impact strain at yield has been verified to have an effect.
A higher number means more strain (more flexible). A lower number means less strain (more rigid).
Elastic Modulus
The formula used in the raws to calculate strain at yield from a real-world elastic modulus value is the raw yield strength (in MPa/raw units) divided by 10 times the elastic modulus (in GPa).
Young's modulus is used for tensile and bending elasticity, the shear modulus is used for shear and torsion elasticity, and the bulk modulus is used for impact and compressive elasticity.
Strain at yield of materials
Strain at yield of materials is defined by the following tokens:
- [IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD]
- [COMPRESSIVE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD]
- [TENSILE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD]
- [TORSION_STRAIN_AT_YIELD]
- [SHEAR_STRAIN_AT_YIELD]
- [BENDING_STRAIN_AT_YIELD]
As stated above, only [IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD] has been observed to affect the material. Lower strain at yield materials will shatter when hit by an impact, even if the impact is an edge weapon.
