  2. 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.

  3. Tensile testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_testing

    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 elongation and reduction in area. [ 2 ]

  4. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_curve

    This region starts as the stress goes beyond the yielding point, reaching a maximum at the ultimate strength point, which is the maximal stress that can be sustained and is called the ultimate tensile strength (UTS). In this region, the stress mainly increases as the material elongates, except that for some materials such as steel, there is a ...

  5. List of body armor performance standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_body_armor...

    The VPAM scale as of 2009 runs from 1 to 14, with 1-5 being soft armor, and 6-14 being hard armor. [1] Tested armor must withstand three hits, spaced 120 mm (4.7 inches) apart, of the designated test threat with no more than 25 mm (0.98 inches) of back-face deformation in order to pass.

  6. Titanium alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_alloys

    Generally, Ti-6Al-4V is used in applications up to 400 degrees Celsius. It has a density of roughly 4420 kg/m 3, Young's modulus of 120 GPa, and tensile strength of 1000 MPa. [22] By comparison, annealed type 316 stainless steel has a density of 8000 kg/m 3, modulus of 193 GPa, and tensile strength of 570 MPa. [23]

  7. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_analysis

    The factor of safety on ultimate tensile strength is to prevent sudden fracture and collapse, which would result in greater economic loss and possible loss of life. An aircraft wing might be designed with a factor of safety of 1.25 on the yield strength of the wing and a factor of safety of 1.5 on its ultimate strength.

  8. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa ⋅ m 3 / kg , or N ⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2 , though the latter form is rarely used.
