Question

What five things can a tensile test measure (SSDTH)

Answer 1

Tensile tests measure tensile strength, tensile strain, stress, strain, and deformation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tensile tests measure five different things:

1. Tensile strength: This is a measure of the breaking stress that will cause permanent deformation or fracture of a material.
2. Tensile strain: It is the measure of the deformation of an object under tensile stress and is defined as the fractional change of the object's length when it experiences tensile stress.
3. Stress: Stress is the ratio of force to area and indicates the internal force experienced by an object.
4. Strain: Strain is the ratio of change in length to the original length and represents the deformation of an object under stress.
5. Deformation: Deformation refers to the change in shape or size of an object under the application of external forces.
