✅ Tensile Test (also called Tension Test) 🔹 Definition: A tensile test is a test used to find how a material behaves when it is pulled (stretched) until it breaks. ⸻ 🔹 Purpose: To determine the mechanical properties of a material, such as: 1. Yield strength – the stress at which the material starts to deform permanently. 2. Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) – the maximum stress it can handle before breaking. 3. Elongation – how much it stretches before breaking (in %). 4. Modulus of Elasticity (
