The points of maximum stress are at the red points on the wrench.

(I was unable to get the shaded gradient effect)




4. The tensile yield strength of AL6061 is 40000 psi (pounds per square inch). The
maximum stress in the X-direction was 5634.05 lbm/(in(sec^2)). The maximum
displacement of the wrench was 3.252E-05. While looking for the conversion factor
of psi to lbm/(in(sec^2)), I was unable to come across an equivalent. All I could find
were conversions that had the inches in the numerator. I am unsure why I was
unable to find this data. If the stress in the X-direction were to exceed the maximum
tensile yield strength, permanent deformation would occur to the wrench, leaving a
faulted wrench.
