Tensile

Tensile Testing is a destructive test method where controlled load is applied to a specimen until it fractures. Stress strain curves highlights the material’s deformation in response to a tensile, compressive, or torsional load applications. Depending on the material being tested (Either brittle or ductile for example), a stress strain curve can indicate key properties of the material including its elastic region, plastic region, yield point, and ultimate tensile strength.
