Confirmation of the following would be appreciated:
La contrainte de Von Mises maximum dans le support de câble apparaît lors de la phase de vol A5ME-US et est de 12 MPa (marge de 942% à la rupture).
The maximum Von Mises stress in the cable support appears during the A5ME-US flight phase and is 12 MPa ( a margin of 942% over the rupture point) OR (a margin of 942% against rupture)
TIA Chris.

from failure
Note that in materials testing, 'rupture' in FR is often rendered more generally as 'failure' in EN.
Do note, too, that the S/T does not say it is a margin 'over', and in actual fact, that would be a little illogical in EN, since it means that this value is that many times lower than the failure point — well, at least I hope that's what they're saying! I'm assuming they are saying that they are very comfortably within this large safety margin, rather than the other way round!

Personally, I think you'll need to turn it round a re-phrase slightly in order to make it read more naturally in EN.

: this is, in fact, probably something like "yield strength (safety) margin"

yes, think so ! Thanks

Dr Lofthouse
: since its a cable being subjected to uniaxial stress, its more likely to be' yield point ' than 'break'
