How Do You Calculate Tensile Strength? |
|
Answer» Tensile strength isn't really calculated; it's measured. It is defined as the point at which a SAMPLE of MATERIAL FAILS when subjected to tensile STRESS. The unit of measure of tensile strength (and stress) is the Newton per square meter (N/m2), ALSO known as the Pascal (Pa). Tensile strengths of various building materials, such as steel, are measure in millions of Pa. Tensile strength isn't really calculated; it's measured.
