1. What is a Tensile Test?
Tensile testing is a method for determining the tensile strength of a material by applying force to a test sample until it deforms or fractures.
The test results help to evaluate:
- - Tensile strength.
- - Yield limit.
- - Elongation.
- - Elastic modulus.
- - Flexibility.
- - The load-bearing capacity of the material.
This is the most fundamental and important test in the field of material mechanical properties testing.
