condensed matter - Why the elastic limit of solid corresponds to a larger strain/extension than the limit of proportionality? - Physics Stack Exchange

In all the force-extension graphs I saw, the elastic limit corresponds to a larger extension than the limit of proportionality. Is this true for all cases? If so, what are the underlying reasons?
