This is a really clear explanation of tensile testing. It makes understanding material properties and their uses in design much easier.

Hi tahirmuneer, thanks for your comment. In this post, I talk about tensile testing. A topic typically studied in materials technology courses. Tensile testing is used to determine how long a material can resist deformation or breakage, and its main application is in metallurgy.

One of the main formulas is the calculation of tension (or stress).
Where:
σ = tension
F = applied force
A = area of the initial cross-section
