tensile strength

Ratio of the maximum load a material can support without fracture when being stretched to the original area of a cross section of the material. When stresses less than the tensile strength are removed, a material completely or partially returns to its original size and shape. As the stress approaches that of the tensile strength, a material that has begun to flow forms a narrow, constricted region that is easily fractured. Tensile strengths are measured in units of force per unit area. See also deformation and flow.

tensile strength

a measure of the ability of a material to withstand a longitudinal stress, expressed as the greatest stress that the material can stand without breaking

tensile strength [′ten·səl ‚streŋkth]

(mechanics)

The maximum stress a material subjected to a stretching load can withstand without tearing. Also known as hot strength.

tensile strength

The resistance of a material to rupture when subject to tension; the maximum tensile stress which the material can sustain.
