Mechanical Properties
Definition
The maximum stress a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. It is expressed in units of force per unit area, such as MPa or psi.
Detailed Explanation
Tensile strength is measured by pulling a standardized specimen until it fractures. For example, structural steel typically has a tensile strength of 400–550 MPa, while high-strength aluminum alloys used in aerospace can reach 600 MPa or more. It is one of the primary criteria for selecting materials in load-bearing structural applications.
