| Abstract: | The variation of a thin structure upon deformation of low-carbon steel at the yield limit is analyzed. The character of the interrelationship between the stage nature of a plastic flow of low-carbon steel and the velocity of ultrasound in it is established. It is shown that the velocity of ultrasound is a parameter for obtaining additional data on the development of plastic flow. The structural changes that exert an effect on the velocity of ultrasound in the deformation that corresponds to the yield site are studied.
