Tensile Test
What key mechanical properties can be obtained from a tensile test curve?
Hint
Hint 2
There are four key mechanical properties obtained from a tensile test curve.
There are four key mechanical properties obtained from a tensile test curve:
- Elastic modulus
- Ductility (also called percent elongation), which is the permanent engineering strain after failure
- Ultimate tensile strength (also called tensile strength), which is the maximum engineering stress
- Yield strength, which is the engineering stress at which permanent deformation is first observed, calculated by 0.2% offset method.
