Which outcome occurs when high bending stress exceeds a cantilevered steel beam’s capacity?

💡 Explanation

Plastic deformation occurs because exceeding the yield strength causes dislocations via the yielding mechanism; therefore the beam permanently deforms, rather than returning to its original shape or fatiguing due to crack formation under cyclic loading.
