Yield

1. The resistance to a load pulling on the middle of a fastener until the fastener shows permanent deformation.
2. Give way to other road users

Yield Point

The stress necessary to produce an elongation under load of 0.50 per cent of the specimen's original length. Expressed as psi.

Yield strength

1. Stress in psi at which a specimen assumes a specified limited permanent set.
2. The amount of pressure required to cause permanent deformity.
3. The stress at which a material exhibits a specified limiting set, commonly taken by the offset method as 0.20 per cent of the specimen's original length. Expressed as psi.

Yield value

1. Minimum force which must be applied to an adhesive, coating or sealer to start the molecules of the adhesive flowing over one another, ending eventually in bond failure
2. The amount (gallonage) that a given adhesive, coating, or sealer formula will yield in actual production.
