	Tensile strength - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can be subjected to before it breaks.
		Tensile strength is measured in units of force per unit area.
		In brittle materials such as rock, concrete, cast iron, or soil, tensile strength is negligible compared to the compressive strength and it is assumed zero for most engineering applications.

	Tensile stress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tensile stress (or tension) is the stress state leading to expansion; that is, the length of a material tends to increase in the tensile direction.
		In the uniaxial manner of tension, tensile stress is induced by pulling forces across a bar, specimen, etc. Tensile stress is the opposite of compressive stress.
		Tensile stress may be increased until the reach of tensile strength, namely the limit state of stress.

		Tensile force required to rupture a pre-slit woven fabric specimen under the conditions outlined in ASTM D-2261 and ASTM D-2262.
		Tensile modulus of elasticity is approximately equal to compressive modulus of elasticity within the proportional limit.
		Methods for tensile tests of plastics are outlined in ASTM D-638, ASTM D-2289 (high strain rates), and ASTM D-882 (thin sheets).

	tensile testing tension testing tensile test tension test
		A tensile test, also known as tension test, is probably the most fundamental type of mechanical test you can perform on material.
		For most tensile testing of materials, you will notice that in the initial portion of the test, the relationship between the applied force, or load, and the elongation the specimen exhibits is linear.
		The stress (R) that is determined from the intersection point "r" when the line of the linear elastic region (with slope equal to Modulus of Elasticity) is drawn from the offset "m" becomes the Yield Strength by the offset method.

		Tensile fabric architecture uses neither of these principles; instead a flexible, lightweight fabric membrane is stretched between a fixed set of support points.
		Tensile roofs, by their nature, will transfer a tremendous load to the points which they are attached.
		Because of this, it is not uncommon in tensile architecture for the elegantly curved fabric membrane to seem out of place compared to their large compression load bearing supports.

	Comparing Tensile and Inflation Seal-Strength Tests for Medical Pouches (MDDI archive, Aug 99)
		The tensile seal-strength test is sensitive to 0.01 lbf and the burst/ creep tests have sensitivity to 0.02 psi.
		To affect the tensile seal strength for the selected material, a temperature range of ±10°F and dwell time of 1.5 seconds was required.
		In an initial effort to correlate the burst and tensile tests, packages were examined to relate the lowest tensile seal- strength area to the area of rupture along the perimeter in the burst test.

		Tensile pricing involves the presentation of vague price information which is intended to give the feeling of a discount without disclosing the actual amount of the discount (Mobley, Bearden and Teel 1988).
		However, this research included manipulations of tensile ranges and tensile anchors that appeared to reference discount levels that might seem unusually low by current market standards (i.e., "as low as 5%," used either as a minimum savings approach or as the low point of a tensile range).
		by examining lower tensile anchors (the "minimum savings" approach) and tensile ranges; yet in their determination of lower discount levels, they may have left open the possibility of alternative explanations in contemporary applications of their results with regard to some of the lowest discount levels they tested.

		The ideal tensile specimen should duplicate the pure basic metal or plastic being tested with a total absence of tool marks, incipient cracks, induced stresses, internal deformation or heat distortion.
		The CNC Tensilathe employs a microcomputer which is programmable to prepare a wide variety of specimens from approximately 1/4" overall diameter to in excess of 2" overall diameter.
		To prepare a test specimen, a rough sheared or sawn strip is inserted into the template between the upper and lower guide bars and is not removed from the template until both sides of the specimen are completely machined, reducing the possibility of operator error.
