One of the most significant and widely used types of mechanical testing of a material is the tensile or tension test. With the use of a tensile tester machine, a pulling force or tension is applied to a material until it fails or breaks and its response to the stress is measured. Through this test, the strength of the material can be determined, and the amount of force needed to elongate it can be measured. Types...

Effective Flat Tensile Sample Preparation Explained There are several reasons why tensile tests are done. Tensile tests usually start with the specimen preparation and the results are used when choosing the materials to be used in certain engineering applications. To ensure quality, material specifications usually include its tensile properties. When developing new processes and materials, tensile properties also...
