Yield Point of Material in Load, Stress and Fasteners Formulas

The yield point of material is a point on the stress–strain curve beyond which the material enters the phase of nonlinear pattern and irrecoverable strain or permanent (plastic) tensile deformation. And is denoted by S_y. Yield Point of Material is usually measured using the Pound-Force per Square Inch for Stress. Note that the value of Yield Point of Material is always negative.
