Answer:

Shape factor

Step-by-step explanation:

Shape factor is the ratio of maximum plastic moment to maximum elastic moment.Shape factor is denoted by K.

Shape factor can be given as

K=(M_p)/(M_y)

$K=(\sigma _yZ_p)/(\sigma _y Z)$

K=(Z_p)/( Z)

For a solid rectangular section made from ductile material shape factor is 1.5 .
