This structure is able to resist weak stress before it breaks apart and flows, hence providing the materialyieldstrength.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These properties are tensile strength,yieldstrength, shear strength, density, and magnetic property, especially.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We can predict locations where failure is likely because the internal stress at that location exceeds the biofilm'syieldstrength(tensile or compressive).
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
If theyieldstrengthis less than this, the material will plastically deform, by definition.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In general, the material properties likeyieldstrengthand shear modulus have been measured only at room temperature, and very little is known about material behavior under dynamic conditions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The factor of safety onyieldstrengthis to prevent detrimental deformations and the factor of safety on ultimate strength is to prevent collapse.
