The basic idea of a tensile test is to place a sample of a material between two ... They have similar uses but very different properties. Procedure A material is gripped at both ends by an apparatus, ...

A neck is formed in a tensile test specimen when the UTS of the engineering stress/strain curve is reached. Prior to this stress-strain condition the plastic deformation occurs throughout the sample ...

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 ...
