Provide definitions for the following terms: tensile strength, yield point, and ultimate strength.

What will be an ideal response?


Tensile strength is the maximum stress a material can withstand without breaking.
Yield point is the maximum stress a material can withstand and still be able to return to its original form without damage.
Ultimate strength is about 10% higher than the yield point (for high-quality steel). That is the point at which the fastener breaks.
