ultimate strength
ultimate strength n (General Engineering) the maximum tensile stress that a material can withstand before rupture ultimate strength
ultimate strength[′əl·tə·mət ′streŋkth] (mechanics) The tensile stress, per unit of the original surface area, at which a body will fracture, or continue to deform under a decreasing load. Ultimate strengthThe highest load that a piece can sustain before failing.ultimate strengthOf a material in tension, compression, or shear: the maximum value of tension, compression, or shear, respectively, that the material can sustain without failure.ultimate strengthAs it pertains to the strength of materials, it is the quantum of stress beyond which the material will fail. See strain and ultimate load.ultimate strength
