  2. Tensile testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_testing

    Specimen size is not to standard (Instron). 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. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength, maximum ...

  3. ASTM A992 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASTM_A992

    ASTM A992 steel has the following minimum mechanical properties, according to ASTM specification A992/A992M. Tensile yield strength, 345 MPa (50 ksi); tensile ultimate strength, 450 MPa (65 ksi); strain to rupture (sometimes called elongation ) in a 200-mm-long test specimen, 18%; strain to rupture in a 50-mm-long test specimen, 21%.

  4. Extensometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensometer

    The specimen of the material under test is usually cut in a specific shape and is marked with special markers (usually special stickers or with pens that distinguishes the marker from the specimen color and texture in the captured image).The pixel distance between these markers in the captured image are constantly tracked in the captured video ...

  5. Mechanical testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_Testing

    Tensile test. A standard specimen is subjected to a gradually increasing load (force) until failure occurs. The resultant load-displacement behaviour is used to determine a stress–strain curve, from which a number of mechanical properties can be measured.

  6. Compact tension specimen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_tension_specimen

    A compact tension specimen (CT) is a type of standard notched specimen in accordance with ASTM [1] and ISO [2] standards. Compact tension specimens are used extensively in the area of fracture mechanics and corrosion testing, in order to establish fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth data for a material. The purpose of using a notched ...

  7. Ultimate tensile strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength

    The ultimate tensile strength of a material is an intensive property; therefore its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen.However, depending on the material, it may be dependent on other factors, such as the preparation of the specimen, the presence or otherwise of surface defects, and the temperature of the test environment and material.

  8. Notch tensile strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notch_tensile_strength

    The notch tensile strength (NTS) of a material is the value given by performing a standard tensile strength test on a notched specimen of the material. [1] The ratio between the NTS and the tensile strength is called the notch strength ratio (NSR).

  9. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(engineering)

    Yield strength testing involves taking a small sample with a fixed cross-section area and then pulling it with a controlled, gradually increasing force until the sample changes shape or breaks. This is called a tensile test. Longitudinal and/or transverse strain is recorded using mechanical or optical extensometers.
