Breaking strength

breaking strength is the maximum mechanical stress, the one material or solid body bears without to break. Depending upon kind of the demand the breaking strength also course, pressure is called -, bending or shearing strength.

The breaking strength depends also on the material condition as well as the temperature. Thus material brittle materials already break with smaller tensions, with flexible materials can the breaking strength be very high. Likewise a role plays the size of the solids.
