The screw should fail before the thread strips. For this, it is necessary
the shear area of the threaded feature be at least 2 times the tensile area.
(Assuming the threaded feature is of the identical material).
Where:
Le = Minimum Thread Engagement Length
At = Tensile Stress Area
D = Major
Diameter of fastener (screw)
p = 1 / Number of threads per inch

This assumes that the male and female thread materials have the same
strength. If the Female Material strength is lower i.e. J as calculated
below is greater than 1 then the length of engagement must be increased to
prevent the female thread stripping
Where:
J = Thread Engagement Ratio
If the value of J is greater than 1 then the length of engagement
must be increased to at least
Where:
le = Thread Engagement Length
