non-yielding

But the cart seemed full of crates and parcels of hard edges, pointed corners, and non-yielding surfaces.

Along its length the core can be divided into three parts: the middle, so-called yielding length and the rigid, non-yielding parts on both ends.

The former occurs from a direct blow, such as a punch, or compression against a non-yielding object such as a seat belt or steering column.

Increased - and typically stiffened - cross-section of the non-yielding part ensures that it remains elastic, and thus plasticity is concentrated in the middle part of the steel core.

For years, central banks were net sellers of gold, accepting the assumed wisdom of the time that it is more profitable to hold sovereign debt instruments, with their steady returns, than non-yielding gold.
