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.
For example, a tensile strength of a steel that can withstand 40,000 pounds of force per square inch may be expressed as 40,000 PSI or 40 KSI (with K being the denominator for thousands of pounds). The tensile strength of steel may also be shown in MPa, or megapascal.he tensile strength of an alloy is most commonly measured by placing a test piece in the jaws of a tensile machine. The tensile machine applies stretching stress by gradually separating the jaws.
