Table 1.

Measure values and definitions of the tensile test

Name SI unit Definition Formula
Load, F N Force applied uniformly in a direction of a sample
Area, S M2 The cross-sectional area of the sample perpendicular to the load direction
Stress, σ Pa Load on the sample per unit of area σ=F/S
Tensile Strength, TS the maximum stress the sample can tolerate before fracture when being stretched
