Also known as: TS-, ts.
TS has various meanings in the Engineering category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of TS in Engineering.
The pulling stress required to break a given specimen. Area used in computing strength is usually the original, rather than the necked-down area. The longitudinal stress required to break a prescribed specimen divided by the original cross-sectional area at the point of rupture, within the gauge boundaries sustained by the specimen during the test. The maximum tensile stress sustained by a material before failure in a tension test.
EngineeringTensile stress is the stress state leading to expansion that is, the length of a material tends to increase in the tensile direction. The volume of the material stays constant. When equal and opposite forces are applied on a body, then the stress due to this force is called tensile stress.
