We will look at a very easy experiment that provides lots of information about the strength or the mechanical behavior of a material, called the tensile test. The basic idea of a tensile test is to ...

Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS), ultimate strength, or Ftu within equations, is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or ...

Experience has taught us the necessity of thoroughly examining the elasticity, extensibihty, and tensile strength of iron and steel intended for the construction of railway plant. In England ...

As the strain rate or cross-head speed is increased, the tensile modulus of the polymer being tested also increases. However, the elongation rate is inversely proportional to the strain rate. Figure 2 ...
