2. Nail (fastener) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_(fastener)

   Nails are made in a great variety of forms for specialized purposes. The most common is a wire nail. [2] Other types of nails include pins, tacks, brads, spikes, and cleats. Nails are typically driven into the workpiece by a hammer or nail gun. A nail holds materials together by friction in the axial direction and shear strength

3. Penny (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_(unit)

   A larger number indicates a longer nail, shown in the table below. Diameter of the nail also varies based on penny size, depending on nail type. Nails under 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 inch, often called brads, are sold mostly in small packages with only a length designation or with length and wire gauge designations; for example, 1″ 18 ga. or 3 ⁄ 4 ″ 16 ga.

4. Shear strength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength

   In engineering, shear strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear. A shear load is a force that tends to produce a sliding failure on a material along a plane that is parallel to the direction of the force. When a paper is cut with scissors ...

5. Elastic properties of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_properties_of_the...

   Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress.They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength.

6. Shear stress - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

   The formula to calculate average shear stress τ or force per unit area is: [1] =, where F is the force applied and A is the cross-sectional area.. The area involved corresponds to the material face parallel to the applied force vector, i.e., with surface normal vector perpendicular to the force.

9. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

   The yield strength or yield stress is a material property and is the stress corresponding to the yield point at which the material begins to deform plastically. The yield strength is often used to determine the maximum allowable load in a mechanical component, since it represents the upper limit to forces that can be applied without producing ...
