We will look at a very easy experiment that provides lots of information about the strength or the mechanical behavior of a material, called the tensile test. The basic idea of a tensile test is to ...

Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS), ultimate strength, or Ftu within equations, is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or ...

As the strain rate or cross-head speed is increased, the tensile modulus of the polymer being tested also increases. However, the elongation rate is inversely proportional to the strain rate. Figure 2 ...
