A guy read a technical article and suddenly becomes a guru! Research the technical definition of tensile stress in your Chemical or Mechanical Engineering Handbook.

I haven't until now typed the phrase "tensile stress", nor discussed it. The simple metric relation to tear resistance is the basis of the discussion. Put a sharp edge from the bolt in and that's the point. Pun intended.
