The breaking stress can be obtained from the top load basing on the load, deformation and the curve of nominal stress and strain.
] (34) The advantage of using equation (34) for the nominal stress becomes more obvious if we integrate it in order to obtain the energy function for the model.
Global features such as nominal stress, excess compliance, and fastener load are connected with local conditions that affect fatigue and fretting, including contact pressures, interface slips, residual stresses, and the intensity and location of the stress concentrations.
