RS TENSILE PVT IN INDIA Tensile strain is defined as the deformation or elongation of a solid body due to the application of a tensile force or stress. Tensile strength is the maximum load that a material can support without fracture when being stretched, divided by the original cross-sectional area of the material. Tensile strengths have dimensions of force per unit area. It measures the strength of the materials. Tensile refers to a type of external physical force applied to a material in a pulling direction away from its surface. Tensile typically refers to tensile strength or tensile stress. The tensile strength is an intensive property, meaning that its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen.
