The maximum allowable stress is that value beyond which, after applying an appropriate factor of safety its particular strength criterion is exceeded and failure occurs.

For example, if aluminum strength in yield is 35,000 psi, and factor of safety is 1.25, its maximum allowable stress against yield is 35,000/1.25 = 28,000 psi
