I am not sure of the exact term, but it is called (something like) the failure point. In Structural Geology applied stress results in strain, which is movement or distortion of the object.What is the amount of stress or force that an object can take?
Depends on the object and its shape.
We had a challenge once when I was in school....we got one piece of paper and a 12in strip of masking tape and we were told to build a structure that would hold weight without collapsing.
The final weight bearing structure consisted of three circles taped together in a triangular form. It held 14 encyclopedias.What is the amount of stress or force that an object can take?
It would depend upon the modulus of elasticity as well as nature of force and duration.
thnks
your are reffering to the breaking point of an object?
