Italian term or phrase: tensione limite/sollecitazione limite
Il rapporto delle tensioni limite è il rapporto tra la sollecitazione limite minima in valore assoluto e la sollecitazione limite massima in valore assoluto...

Si traduce letteralmente: limit tension/limit stress????
Per "sollecitazione" è meglio usare "stress" o "strain"?

\"Machines for conducting elongation, torque, rotation, proof load, breaking strength, and cyclic-tension fatigue tests are available with a variety of capacities. Any of these tests can be conducted with the test section of the cable at extreme temperatures. All tension measuring instrumentation has an accuracy of 1.0 percent of full scale. Available load cell capacity\'s range from 10/44.5 pounds/N to 400,000/1,779.4 pounds/kN.

Available test machines include:

Maximum Tension, pounds
Maximum Specimen, Length, feet\"

\"The maximum stress criterion, also known as the normal stress, Coulomb, or Rankine criterion, is often used to predict the failure of brittle materials.
The maximum stress criterion states that failure occurs when the maximum (normal) principal stress reaches either the uniaxial tension strength st, or the uniaxial compression strength sc,\"

Explanation:
Dunque, prima la parte che so, e poi la parte dove sto indovinando ;-))

Tensione= tension (pulling force), che e' un tipo di 'stress'(force on a member divided by the area which carries the force) , mentre 'strain' e' la deformazione (change in length) che risulta dallo stress. Quindi strain puo' essere elastico (torna a posto quando cessa lo stress) o permanente.

If you don't stop stressing me, I'll get strained and my nose will get all bent out of shape!

Per il termine che cerchi:
Avrei dato anch'io ragione a Massimo, ma il tuo commento mi ha fatto cercare un po' meglio, e credo che i termini che cerchi siano _maximum and minimum yield stress_.

Yield stress: the stress at which noticable, suddenly increased deformation (strain!) occurs under slowly increasing load.

((Penguin Dictionary of Engineering)

Basterebbe confermare questo significato anche per sollecitazione limite (mass e min.).

Attenzione! Non leggendo bene la domanda :-), non avevo capito che sono due termini diversi!
Sempre che indovini bene:

tensione limite (max e min) = \"maximum and minimum tensile stress\"
sollecitazione limite (max e min) = \"maximum and minimum yield stress\"

Vedi per esempio questo sito: http://www.fema.gov/library/350ch3.pdf

Aggiungo ancora:

Sempre dallo stesso Penguin:

Tensile strength: Loose abbrevitation for \"ultimate tensile stress\". It is much higher than the greates safe stress.

Ultimate tensile stress, ultimate strength, breaking strength: the tensio at which a specimen breaks, divided by its original area before testing began.

So perhaps the most correct adjectives are minimum (first deformation) and ultimate (breakage point)?

Not sure, but this should help!
