maximum tensile stress
1Stress analysis — is an engineering discipline that determines the stress in materials and structures subjected to static or dynamic forces or loads (see statics and dynamics) (alternately, in linear elastic systems, strain can be used in place of stress). The aim …
2Stress (physics) — Stress is a measure of the average amount of force exerted per unit area. It is a measure of the intensity of the total internal forces acting within a body across imaginary internal surfaces, as a reaction to external applied forces and body… …
3Stress (mechanics) — Continuum mechanics …
4tensile strength — the value obtained by dividing the maximum load observed during tensile straining by the specimen cross sectional area before straining. Also termed maximum stress and ultimate tensile stress …
5tensile strength — [1] Regarding a tire, it is a measurement of the greatest longitudinal stress a tire cord can bear without breaking. [2] Maximum pull stress in psi a specimen is capable of developing. [3] The resistance which an adhesive film remains tacky …
6Tensile strength — sigma {UTS}, or S U is the stress at which a material breaks or permanently deforms. Tensile strength is an intensive property and, consequently, does not depend on the size of the test specimen. However, it is dependent on the preparation of the …
7tensile strength — the resistance of a material to longitudinal stress, measured by the minimum amount of longitudinal stress required to rupture the material. [1860 65] * * * Ratio of the maximum load a material can support without fracture when being stretched to …
8maximum stress — in the testing of the strength of steel a sample is machined into a standard test piece and is stretched in a tensile testing machine until it breaks. The results are expressed in N/mm2 and is the value of the maximum load reached in the test… …
9Shear stress — SI symbol: τ SI unit: pascal Derivations from other quantities: τ = F / A …
10Strength of materials — Internal force lines are denser near the hole, a common stress concentration In materials science, the strength of a material is its ability to withstand an applied stress without failure. The applied stress may be tensile, compressive, or shear …
