The material will yield when stress reaches a critical value.
Stress = Load / Area
Thick steel wire is stronger than thin steel wire because there is more cross sectional area in the thick wire. Although the material's strength in load per unit area would be the same, the ultimate load that the wire can sustain would be more in the thick wire. A simple way of looking at it is to imagine a thick wire as a number of thin wires stuck together. If a thin wire can support a mass of 1kg then 2 thin wires can support 2kg. A wire which is twice as thick (twice the cross sectional area) can also support 2kg.

What is steel cutting?
It depends on how thick of steel you're aiming to cut. But most job shops process steel with either laser cutting (for thin steel) or waterjet cutting (for up to 12" thick)... or machining.
Is it better for a cactus cover to be thick or thin?
Thick
Thin wires resist electricity more or less than thick wires?
A thin (smaller diameter) wire resist more electricity than a thick (larger diameter) wire. Just like a larger pipe will allow more water to flow than a smaller pipe, a larger wire has more cross-sectional area to allow more current to flow.
Can you usually hear the water running through the pipes?
Funny Not really usually but if you do, then you have yourself really thin pipes. Its not that its a problem, its just that your pipes are thin and not that thick. I f i were you i would get myself some thick pipes

What insect made material is stronger than steel?
Spider silk. The reason it seems so weak when you accidentally walk through a web is because it is so thin. If you could make spider silk thicker it would be stronger than a steel cable.

Are there more thick filaments than thin filaments in smooth muscle?
There more thin filaments than thick filaments in smooth muscle. The ratio is of the thin to thick filaments in the smooth muscle is approximately 15:1.
Are the veins the strongest and thickest of the blood vessels?
The veins are neither strong nor thick of the blood vessels. On the contrary the veins are thin and thin walled. The arteries are strong and thick. They have to bear the pressure of the blood that comes from the heart.
Compared to thin wires electrical resistance in thick wires are?
The electrical resistance in thick wires is less than thin.

Is marmite stronger than vegemite?
