The red line is the full elastic-plasic true stress-true strain curve from ASME Section VIII, Division 2, Annex 3-D. The blue line is the elastic curve, truncated at the engineering yield (38 ksi), and it then jumps to the red line. The green line is the 0.2% offset method visualized. In this example is SA516-70 at room temperature.
