Why Does Failure Stress Depend on Material?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Failure stress is fundamentally dependent on the material properties rather than the size and shape of the object. The discussion highlights that allowable stresses are determined by the material characteristics and environmental factors. While size and shape influence the applied stress, they do not dictate the inherent failure stress of a material. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate material selection in engineering applications.

any folks can reply
 
allowable stresses are material and environmentally determined.

size, shape and loading determine the applied stress.
