1. tensile strength

   Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS), ultimate strength, or F tu {\displaystyle F_{\text{tu}}} within equations, is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. In brittle materials the ultimate tensile strength is close to the yield point, whereas in ductile materials the ultimate tensile strength can be higher. The ultimate tensile strength is usually found by performing a tensile test and recording the engineering stress versus strain. The highest point of the stress–strain curve is the ultimate tensile strength and has units of stress. The equivalent point for the case of compression, instead of tension, is called the compressive strength. Tensile strengths are rarely of any consequence in the design of ductile members, but they are important with brittle members. They are tabulated for common materials such as alloys, composite materials, ceramics, plastics, and wood.

1. tensile strength

   Tensile strength refers to the maximum amount of tensile (stretching) stress that a material can withstand before failure, such as breaking or permanent deformation. It is calculated by dividing the maximum load carried by the material by the original cross-sectional area of the material. It is typically measured in units of force per unit area. Tensile strength is an important property to consider in structural and mechanical engineering, as well as material science.
