Stress Strain DiagramStress Strain Diagram The point at wich The point at wich
permanent permanent deformation begins is deformation begins is known as the yield known as the yield point, or yield stresspoint, or yield stress
Increasing stress Increasing stress beyond the yield point beyond the yield point causes a rapid rate of causes a rapid rate of strain or deformation strain or deformation to occur until the to occur until the material ruptures, or material ruptures, or failsfails
Stress-Strain DiagramStress-Strain Diagram The portion of the The portion of the

Tensile & Shear Failure of JointTensile & Shear Failure of Joint Tensile failure is Tensile failure is
related to the related to the tensile strength of tensile strength of the material.the material.
Shear failure is Shear failure is when a load is when a load is sufficient to cause sufficient to cause the fastener to fail the fastener to fail by shearing.by shearing.
Bearing & Tear-out Failure of JointBearing & Tear-out Failure of Joint
Bearing failure is a Bearing failure is a type of type of compressive failure compressive failure from the fastener from the fastener pushing, or bearing pushing, or bearing against the sheet.against the sheet.
Placing a fastener Placing a fastener too close to the too close to the edge of the sheet edge of the sheet will result in tear-will result in tear-out failure.out failure.
