Tensile Testing Terms and Tensile Testing Terms Definitions Engineering stress: Engineering stress can be equated to the load applied per original cross sectional area. True stress: True stress can be equated to the load applied per instantaneous (actual) cross sectional area. Unit: N/m2 (Pa) Mass/Specific stress: The ratio between applied load and linear density […]

Tensile properties of Textile Fibers
When an external force is applied to a fiber, it is balanced by the internal force development in the molecular structure of the fiber. By increasing the stresses, material will deform and follow the load-elongation/stress –strain curve.
