The tensile stress area is based upon the area at a section midway between the basic pitch diameter and the basic rounded form minor diameter with radius of 0.144P.
Thread shear areas are geometric minimum values. Shear (Thread Stripping) strength of screw threads under load are dependent, in addition, on mating component relative material strengths, nut geometry, and coefficient of friction between thread bearing surfaces. Effective shear areas are therefore somewhat less than the geometric values.
In general the length of engagement of mating threads is selected to utilize full tensile strength of a bolt prior to shearing of nut threads. Other applications may require internal thread shear prior to failure of the externally threaded part.
