The breaking strength is always greater than the yield strength.


Why the tensile strength lower for LDPE than for HDPE?

HDPE has higher density therefore it has greater tensile strength


How do you calculate the dynamic breaking strength of a wire rope?

The dynamic breaking strength of a wire rope can be calculated by multiplying the static breaking strength of the wire rope by a safety factor suitable for the dynamic loading conditions. Typically, the safety factor for dynamic loading is higher than for static loading to account for the dynamic forces and vibrations that the wire rope may experience during operation.

Eris has a gravitational field strength of about 0.8 m/sĀ² which is lower than Earth's, due to its smaller mass and size.


Why does rainwater containing sulphuric acid have a lower pH than rainwater that contains carbonic acid?

sulphuric acid is a stronger acid than carbonic acid. lower pH defines strength of acid.


How many times greater in strength is an earthquake rated 4 on the Richter Scale tha an earthquake rated 2?

Each number on the Richter scale is TEN TIMES stronger than the lower number. Therefore - in this case, a strength 4 quake is 100 times stronger than a strength 2.


Why the actual strength of a metal is lower than its predicted ideal strength?

Because in theory we study regarding a perfect material but in reality the material will have many imperfections which decreases the stress required to deformed a material.


Is tensile strength of cold rolled steel is greater than yield stress?

For ductile materials, the yield stress is always lower than the tensile strength of the material. For brittle material they can usually be considered the same point. Steel is generally considered ductile.


What sort of properties do materials which show brittle fracture have?

Their breaking strength is smaller than their shear strength. Once the strain on the material surpasses the elastic limit, the material will fracture and in process known as brittle fracture. This plastic deformation is permanent and irreversible.
