The maximum strength under which an awning material is capable of sustaining a gradual and uniformly applied load.

The maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before failing or breaking.

The maximum stress attained by a structural member prior to rupture, which is the ultimate load divided by the original cross-sectional area of the member.

(See Tensile Strength)

The maximum stress attained by a structural member prior to rupture which is the ultimate load divided by the orginial cross-sectional area of the member.

See Tensile Strength.

The stress, usually expressed in tons per square inch, that exactly balances the resistance to fracture, or rupture, of a member or material under stress. Sometimes denned as the minimum load that wil [..]

Highest engineering stress developed in material before rupture. Normally, changes in area due to changing load and necking are disregarded in determining ultimate strength.

The maximum stress (tensile, compressive or shear) a material can sustain without fracture. It is determined by dividing maximum load by the original cross-sectional area of the specimen.
