Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS), ultimate strength, or Ftu within equations, is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or ...

All manufactured plastics are exposed to mechanical loading conditions throughout their operating lifetime. Mechanical failure can be prevented by determining and routinely verifying the mechanical ...

ASTM D1414 (D 1414) covers multiple properties of O-Rings. Part of the specification includes tension testing for determining the breaking force, tensile strength, and ultimate elongation of an o-ring ...

Nagoya, Japan - Single-walled carbon nanotubes should theoretically be extremely strong, but it remains unclear why their experimental tensile strengths are lower and vary among nanotubes. A team at ...
