Tensile Strength Tensile strength is the stress at the maximum on the stress-strain curve.  Or The greatest longitudinal or axial stress a material can bear without breaking.  Tensile strength is the maximum amount of tensile stress that a material can take before failure. There are three definitions of … [Read more...] about Tensile Strength | Yield Strength | Ultimate Strength | Breaking Strength
