___________ is the amount of tension that can be applied to the fastener without any permanent damage.
A) Proof load
B) Minimum yield strength
C) Minimum tensile strength
D) Maximum tensile strength
Proof Load
A specific load value, often used in testing, that a component or assembly can bear without permanent deformation or failure.
Tensile Strength
A measure of the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking.
Minimum Yield Strength
The lowest stress at which a material begins to deform permanently, important in material selection for engineering.
