Question

the ______________ is the maximum stress a fastener can withstand for a specified number of repeated cycles prior to its failure. shear strength proof load tensile strength fatigue strength

Explanation:

Shear strength is related to resistance to shear - type forces. Proof load is a non - damaging load test. Tensile strength is for resistance to pulling forces. Fatigue strength is defined as the maximum stress a material (like a fastener) can withstand for a specified number of repeated cycles before failure.

Answer:

D. Fatigue Strength
