    Tensile strength testing measures the stress at which a material breaks or deforms permanently under tension. The test involves gripping a test piece in a machine that pulls it until it breaks, measuring properties like ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, elastic modulus, and elongation. Engineering stress and strain are calculated from the load, initial area, elongation, and initial gauge length.

    Tensile Strength or Tension Test

    Tensile Test - Tensile Strength or Tension Test

    Definition:
    Tensile strength of a material is the tension stress at which a
    material breaks or permanently deforms (changes shape)
    Advertisements

    sUTS = Pmax/Ao
    There are three stages of Tensile Strength:
    1. Yield Strength
    2. Ultimate Strength and
    3. Breaking strength

    Tensile strength of a material is the

    tension stress at which a material breaks or permanently deforms (changes shape) Toughness,

    Resilience, Poisson's ratio can also be found by the use of this testing technique. This data is
    plotted as load vs elongation and then converted to engineering stress (load/original area) vs
    engineering strain (fractional change in length over the test section assuming the deformation is
    uniform)

    Procedure of Strength Test:


    A standard test piece (gauge length 8ft) is gripped at both ends in the jaws of UTM - Universal
    Testing Machine which slowly exerts an axial pull so that the steel is stretched until it breaks.
    The major parameters that describe the stress-strain curve obtained during the tension test are
    the:
    1. Ultimate tensile strength (UTS)
    2. Yield strength or yield point (sy)
    3. Elastic modulus (E)
    4. Percent elongation (?L%) and
    5. The reduction in area (RA%).
    Toughness, Resilience, Poisson's ratio can also be found by the use of this testing technique. This
    data is plotted as load vs elongation and then converted to engineering stress (load/original area)
    vs engineering strain (fractional change in length over the test section assuming the deformation
    is uniform.

    Engineering Stress:
    Stress s = P / Ao ( Load/Initial cross-sectional area)
    Strain = e = dl / lo (Elongation/Initial gauge length)
    Engineering stress and strain are independent of the geometry of the specimen.
    If the true cross section is measured during the test the True Stress and True Strain may be
    calculated. Tensile tests are applied on materials such as concrete, metals, plastics, wood, and
    ceramics etc.

    Units of Measurement:
    Tensile testing systems use a number of different units of measurement. The International
    System of Units, or SI, recommends the use of either Pascals (Pa) or Newtons per square meter
    (N/m) for describing tensile strength. In the United States, many engineers measure tensile

    strength in kilo-pound per square inch (KSI).
