Strength:

This is the applied force on a material that can withstand prior to fracture. It is measured by the proof or yield stress of a material that is under action.

Working stress:

This is the stress that is being imposed on a material as a result of the load that is being subjected on the material. The loads that are given must be in the elastic range.

Proof stress:

Defines the tensile stress.

Ultimate tensile stress (UTS):

Defines of a material that is given by a relationship or its maximum load.

Specific strength:

Defines the light and strong of a material that is used in aircraft making. This is done to maximize the payload and meeting all the safety requirements.

Malleability:

Defines the ability to be rolled into sheets or get a shape under pressure. This includes examples of gold, copper and lead.

Elasticity:

Defines the ability of a material to return to its original shape when an external force is removed from the material.
