Yellowness Index A measure of the color on the yellow scale.

Yield Point In tensile testing, yield point is the first point on the stress-strain curve at which an increase in strain occurs without an increase in stress.

Yield stress The maximum stress that a material can support without breaking. At this point, the material will not return to its initial orientation, even after the load is removed.

Yield Value of Plastic Minimum stress required to start flow.

Young’s modulus The ratio of normal stress to corresponding strain for tensile or compressive stresses less than the proportional limit of the material.
