The tensile test involves placing a sample in a testing machine and applying a uniaxial force until the sample fails. The procedure typically follows these steps:
Preparation of the sample to the desired dimensions and shape. Mounting the sample in the grips of the tensile testing machine. Applying a controlled force and measuring the resulting deformation. Recording the stress-strain curve to analyze mechanical properties.
The data collected from the test can help in understanding the elastic and plastic behavior of the material under stress.
