Yield strength The stress required to produce a very slight yet specified amount of plastic strain; a strain offset of 0.002 is commonly used.
Yielding The onset of plastic deformation.
Zener diode Semiconductor diode that has a well-defined turn-on voltage for conduction in the reverse direction.
Zero offset The output of a sensor at zero input for a specified supply voltage or current.
