Notes

This class serves as the parent class for all specific material implementations. The default values are None and should be overridden by child classes with specific material properties.

Definitions

‘Ultimate Strength’

The maximum stress that a material can withstand before failure

‘Yield Strength’

The stress at which a material begins to deform plastically

‘Bearing Strength’

The resistance of a material to crushing loads applied through a fastener or pin

‘Minimum Gage Thickness’

The minimum thickness that can be reliably manufactured while maintaining structural integrity
