behavior at the limits


Explanation:
is, of course, the literal translation, which is about as far as one can go absent any context. However: this phrase is often used in engineering to describe how a material (metal, wood, concrete, or another composite) behaves when subjected to maximum stress and/or strain. If that fits your context, go with it...!
