Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, [1] is a fundamental materials science and engineering test in which a sample is subjected to a controlled tension until failure.

The traditional method for determining the strength and modulus of a metal is through a tensile test, in which a precisely shaped specimen is pulled in tension until failure.

Dec 17, 2025 · Following a repeatable seven-step testing workflow ensures all generated tensile results remain actionable and ready to use. Here’s what you need to know about tensile …

Nov 13, 2025 · A tensile test is a mechanical testing method used to determine how materials behave when subjected to tension. This involves stretching a material sample, known as a …

Jun 4, 2021 · The tensile Testing method measures the force required to break a metallic, composite, or plastic specimen and the extent to which the specimen stretches or elongates to …

A tensile test (or tension test) applies force to a material specimen to measure the material's response to tensile (or pulling) stress. This helps product designers to decide when, where, …
