One of the most common testing methods, tensile testing, is used to determine the behaviour of a sample while an axial stretching load is applied. These types of tests may be performed under ambient or controlled (heating or cooling) conditions to determine the tensile properties of a material.
Tensile testing is performed on a variety of materials including
metals,
plastics, elastomers,
paper, composites,
rubbers,
fabrics, adhesives, films, etc.
Tensile testing is commonly used to determine the maximum load (tensile strength) that a material or a product can withstand. Tensile testing may be based on a load value or elongation value.
Common tensile testing results include:
- Maximum Load
- Deflection of Maximum Load
- Work at Maximum Load
- Stiffness
- Load at Break
- Deflection at Break
- Work at Break
- Chord Slope
- Stress
- Strain
- Young's Modulus
