What is the Strength of a Material?
Strength refers to the ability of a structure to resist loads without failure because of excessive stress or deformation. Typical points of interest when testing a material include: ultimate tensile strength (UTS) or peak stress offset yield strength (OYS) which represents a point just beyond the onset of permanent deformation; and the rupture (R) or fracture point where the specimen separates into pieces.
