The load vs displacement curve, such as that given in Fig. 9.10, provides information that can be used to calculate the puncture strength (load required to break the specimen divided by the cross-sectional area of the film) and the energy to puncture (related to the area under the curve)...
12.4.4.1 Tensile strength It is the maximum tensile load that a specimen can withstand by rupturing. Tensile strength of geotextiles can be measured by variety of methods such as the grab tensile test as per ASTM D4632, narrow strip test as per ASTM D751, and wide width tensile test as ...
ten·sile strength (tĕn′səl, tĕn′sīl′) The ability of a material to resist a force that tends to pull it apart. It is usually expressed as the measure of the largest force that can be applied in this way before the material breaks apart. ...
Tensile strength vs. tensile stress: What’s the difference? A material’s tensile stress is the amount of force per unit area it experiences due to a tension load, but tensile strength is either its yield, ultimate, or fracture strength. ...

Welcome back to the Ask the Expert blog. The blog is designed to help educate you on all things retaining rings and wave springs. This week, we talk about tensile strength and why it’s important in wave spring and retaining ring design. To ensure you kn
Yield strength is the amount of pressure or stress required to deform or permanently change the shape of abrasion resistant steel, without undergoing any additional increase in pressure or load. In other words, it is the pressure or load required to permanently deform the steel (i.e. it cannot...
ensuring the integrity and reliability of electronic components. This includes studying different materials' deformation and failure mechanisms when subjected to a tensile load. One key parameter that is used to quantify theability of a material to withstand such loadsis its tensile strength at yield....
The results from the tensile test mainly consist of two curves: the tensile stress versus tensile strain and the maximum load versus maximum elongation. Moreover, Young’s modulus, Poisson ratio, and yield strength can be obtained by the test. All of these parameters determine the mechanical ...
Another strength value measured in tensile testing is ultimate strength (or ultimate tensile strength), σUTS, which is the maximum engineering stress (see Fig. 2.1A). The difference between σUTS and σ0.2 is the capability of a structure to sustain overload. This difference is caused by ...
