Question

Which of the following terms is defined as the stress in psi (pounds per square inch) at which a fastener assumes a specified limited permanent set? A. Yields strength B. Tensile strength C. Shear strength D. Elasticity

Answer 1

A. Yield strength

Step-by-step explanation:

Yield stress is defined as the stress in psi at which a fastener assumes a specified limited permanent set.

Because yield strength of any component is the maximum strength of the component up to which it remains elastic. At yield point, the materials starts to yield. That means the component goes into the plastic range after it crosses yield point and is permanently set,it cannot regain its original dimensions.

Therefore, A). Yield strength is the answer.

Answer 2

Yields strength is defined as the stress in psi (pounds per square inch) at which a fastener assumes a specified limited permanent set.
