Yield strength is the stress at which a material deforms plastically- basically, when you take the load off, it won't go back to the same dimensions it started at. Tensile strength is the stress at which the material breaks. In materials where the yield and tensile strengths are close numerically, like glass, there is a very small plastic range. These materials are thought of as brittle. In materials where the yield and tensile strengths are far apart numerically, like soft aluminum, there is a very large plastic range. One potential upside of a larger plastic range is that brittle failures are often catastrophic. A material with a larger plastic range can allow a part to be designed that will fail in overload by deforming until the part is unusable, rather than fracturing completely.

Which stress is used during the tensile test of mild steel?

During a tensile test of mild steel, the bar is tested until it breaks. It measures how much stress the mild steel can take before it finally breaks under the pressure.


Why use high tensile steel?

High tensile steel put simply is used where structures require high tensile strength. Tensile stress is where the forces on a material are "pulling" from each end away from the centre. Steel can be alloyed with certain materials such as aluminum to create a material that is stronger under tensile loading. An example of where high tensile steel is required is the cables of the ANZAC bridge that support its deck. Hope this helps..


Cross sectional area of 176.6mm2. what is the formula for finding the working tensile stress in the steel rod. also the formula for then finding the strain resulting from the working tensile stress?

Is tensile strength of cold rolled steel is greater than yield stress?

For ductile materials, the yield stress is always lower than the tensile strength of the material. For brittle material they can usually be considered the same point. Steel is generally considered ductile.


Grade of high tensile steel?

Grades of high tensile steel are based on their tensile strength and heat resistance. The best of these are used in axles and other high stress constructions that are required to operation safely.

What type of resistance stress applied in a longitudinal direction is provided best by?

Tensile stress provides the best resistance when applied in a longitudinal direction. This type of stress occurs when forces are applied to stretch an object, causing it to pull apart. Materials like steel and Kevlar are known for their high resistance to tensile stress.
