Question

True or false: Ultimate tensile strength increases as the thickness of a solid material sample increases.

True

False

Answer 1

Tensile strength should remain constant, regardless of thickness. For larger cross sections, it can slightly increase because the atoms in the center become more constricted and therefore less responsive to the applied stress.FALSE

Answer 2

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tensile strength should remain constant, regardless of thickness. For larger cross sections, it can slightly increase because the atoms in the center become more constricted and therefore less responsive to the applied stress.
