2. Ultimate tensile strength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength

   The ultimate tensile strength of a material is an intensive property; therefore its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen.However, depending on the material, it may be dependent on other factors, such as the preparation of the specimen, the presence or otherwise of surface defects, and the temperature of the test environment and material.

3. Tie (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_(engineering)

   A hurricane tie used to fasten a rafter to a stud. A tie, strap, tie rod, eyebar, guy-wire, suspension cables, or wire ropes, are examples of linear structural components designed to resist tension. [1] It is the opposite of a strut or column, which is designed to resist compression. Ties may be made of any tension resisting material.

4. Hook-and-loop fastener - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook-and-loop_fastener

   The strength of the bond depends on how well the hooks are embedded in the loops, how much surface area is in contact with the hooks, and the nature of the force pulling it apart. If hook-and-loop is used to bond two rigid surfaces, such as auto body panels and frame, the bond is particularly strong because any force pulling the pieces apart is ...

5. Cable tie - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_tie

   A cable tie (also known as a hose tie, panduit, [1] tie wrap, wire tie, zap-straps, or zip tie) is a type of fastener for holding items together, primarily electrical cables and wires. Because of their low cost, ease of use, and binding strength, cable ties are ubiquitous, finding use in a wide range of other applications.

6. Structural material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_material

   Steel is used extremely widely in all types of structures, due to its relatively low cost, high strength-to-weight ratio and speed of construction. Steel is a ductile material, which will behave elastically until it reaches yield (point 2 on the stress–strain curve), when it becomes plastic and will fail in a ductile manner (large strains, or ...

7. Flexural strength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_strength

   The flexural strength is stress at failure in bending. It is equal to or slightly larger than the failure stress in tension. Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test.
