Tensile testing evaluates the strength of a material when subjected to a load, as well as the strain (elongation) that takes ...

Extensometry is the science of the measurement and analysis of changes in a materials linear dimensions during tensile testing. An extensometer is an instrument that measures test specimen elongation ...

While a fiber sample can be accommodated in a traditional tensile testing system, the precision of the results obtained is uncertain. These issues can possibly be prevented by understanding the thin ...

It doesn't consider the fact that the dimensions of the test specimen change throughout the duration of the tensile test. In this video I cover the interesting topic of true stress and true strain ...

Among the most common properties reported for fiber-reinforced polymers are those obtained from tensile testing of a unidirectional (UD) composite in the fiber direction. These properties include ...
