Good hard drawn copper has a tensile strength of about three times its own weight per mile length.
Mr. Chivers' test showed that so far as tensile strength goes, this leather is very much weaker than many leathers much less expensive.
Some of these qualities, such as tensile strength, amount of stretch, etc.
When dried, pelt thus treated yields a full and soft leather with brown grain and flesh possessing but little tensile strength.
The resultant leather is black, but is soft and full and possesses good tensile strength.
When large bodies of water must be crossed, tensile strength is a prime requirement.
One-sixth of tensile strength of plate multiplied by thickness of plate and divided by one-half the diameter of boiler gives safe working pressure for tubular boilers.
Homogeneity, tensile strength, malleability, ductility and freedom from laminations and blisters.
At what temperature has iron the greatest tensile strength?
One-sixth of tensile strength of plate multiplied by thickness of plate, divided by one-half of the diameter of boiler, gives safe working pressure.
It also gives the elastic limit, tensile strength, elongation and reduction of area of the various alloys, all being given the same heat treatment with a drawing temperature of 1,100°F.
The wire was required to have a tensile strength of 89 tons per sq.
Rivet bars tested on a gauge length eight times the diameter must have a tensile strength of 26 to 30 tons per sq.
Plates, angles and bars, other than rivet bars, must have a tensile strength of 28 to 32 tons per sq.
A few weeks ago, an investigator in this line remarked, in a discussion at a meeting of engineers, that "the failure of concrete in compression may in cases be due to lack of tensile strength.
Why do writers on this subject practically ignore the importance of toughness or tensile strength in columns?
Some years ago the writer pointed out that the weakness of cast-iron columns in compression is due to the lack of tensile strength or toughness in cast iron.
Mr. Godfrey does not seem to be familiar with the tests made by good authorities on square slabs of reinforced concrete and of cast iron, which latter material is also deficient in tensile strength.
Tensile strength is determined by clamping a strip of paper of standard dimensions in a machine which exerts a uniform tension until the strip breaks.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "tensile strength" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
