Tensile Test
What key mechanical properties can be obtained from a tensile test curve?
Expand Hint
A tensile test curve is another name for a stress vs strain curve.
Hint 2
There are four key mechanical properties obtained from a tensile test curve.
A tensile test is putting a material coupon sample in increasing tensional stress and measuring its strain until fractures. The data collected produces a stress vs strain graph (also called 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.
