Stress-Strain Curves A tensile test involves mounting the specimenin a machine, such as those described in the pre-vious section, and subjecting it to tension. Thetensile force is recorded as a function of the in-crease in gage length. Figure 4(a) shows a typ-ical curve for a ductile material.
Ductility can be quantified by the fracture strain, which is the engineering strain at which a test specimen fractures during a uniaxial tensile test.Another commonly used measure is the reduction of area at fracture.uctility can be quantified by the fracture strain, which is the engineering strain at which a test specimen fractures during a uniaxial tensile test.
