EXPLANATION The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of Tensile Stress that it can be subjected to before failure. The definition of failure can vary according to material type and design methodology. This is an important concept in Engineering , especially in the fields of Material Science , Mechanical Engineering and Structural Engineering . There are three typical definitions of tensile strength:
CONCEPT The various definitions of tensile strength are shown in the following stress-strain graph for low-carbon Steel : | ||
