Because of the sudden tensile strain brought to bear upon tendons in the shocks of concussion, as well as in propulsion of the body, there frequently occurs a rupture of fibers and this we know as sprain.
They are, however, completely severed by being cut or ruptured, though fibrillary fracture the result of constant or intermittent tensile strain is of more frequent occurrence.
When dried, pelt thus treated yields a full and soft leather with brown grain and flesh possessing but little tensile strength.
The latter is very flexible and possesses great tensile strength, but loses the latter quality when exposed to heat, and, when stored, also loses its flexibility.

Good hard drawn copper has a tensile strength of about three times its own weight per mile length.
The table on the next page gives the tensile strength, in pounds per square inch of cross section, hard drawn copper wire of various sizes B.
Hard drawn copper wire is ductile, and has a high tensile strength; these properties allow it to be bent around corners and drawn through tubes without injury.
What is very high tensile strength in boiler iron apt to go with?
At what temperature has iron the greatest tensile strength?
Homogeneity, tensile strength, malleability, ductility and freedom from laminations and blisters.
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.
One-sixth of tensilestrength of plate multiplied by thickness of plate, divided by one-half of the diameter of boiler, gives safe working pressure.
What is the tensilestrength of American boiler iron?
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.
If in this space there is inserted a rod which is capable of taking that tension at a proper unit, the safety of the chimney is assured, as far as that tensile stress is concerned.
They must not be too far apart, and they must be of sufficient cross-section to develop the necessary tensile forces at not excessive unit stresses.
It is a simple matter to find the tensile stress in that part of a plain concrete chimney between two radii on the windward side.
The tensile strength of concrete in a slab of any kind is of course real, when the slab is without cracks; it has a large influence in the deflection; but what about a slab that is cracked from shrinkage or otherwise?
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.
The assumption of an imaginary plain concrete chimney and determinations of tensile stresses in the concrete are merely simplified methods of finding the tensile stress.
Increase the vertical loads, [Sigma] P, and the neutral surface will rise and small tensile cracks will appear in the concrete below the neutral surface (Fig.
The greater tensile strength of rich mixtures of concrete accounts fully for the greater showing in compression in tests of columns of such mixtures.
The dried vehicle, linoxin, is notable for its elasticity, and it is weak in crushing and tensile strength, and in hardness or resistance to surface wear.
These theories of interlocking are, however, incomplete, because the tensile strength of clays should accurately represent the plasticity if interlocking were the sole cause.
Zschokke has shown that tensile strength is only one factor which must be determined in any attempt to measure plasticity.
Now, Howat told himself, it was merely a question of tensile strength.
It's useful," Polder declared; "it has a tensile strength.
A fat mixture has greater tensile strength than a lean mixture, but resistance to compression depends upon a thorough filling of voids.
For the utmost length this is the only available span; it brings into play the tensile strength of wire, the strongest form that steel can take.
Beams, too, cannot have much length in a material which is only one tenth as strong in tensile as in compressive resistance.
What is chiefly sought in steel is tensile strength, next in value is elasticity; in some cases hardness is indispensable.
Adams became of bulging form, without fracture, but with a reduction in tensile strength of one-half.
A steel bar may satisfactorily pass a tensile test applied in one direction, only to break down disastrously under alternating stresses each less severe.
In every case the question is, Where will the tensile strength of the steel do most good, because most needed?
Since the strength of concrete is usually ten-fold greater in compression than in tension, designs should be compressive whenever possible, all tensile strains being carefully committed to the steel.
This will be accompanied by stressing of the connections, and a transfer to the longitudinals of as much of the tensile stress properly belonging to the booms as the stiffness of the cross-girders may communicate.
The tensile strength of the paper is also materially increased, and in every way the paper is improved.
If two papers of equal tensile strength differ in elasticity, it may be taken for granted that the paper showing a greater percentage of elongation under tension is the better of the two.
It is interesting to note that the tensilestrength of the waterleaf papers appears to remain fairly constant throughout the whole period of beating.
The strength of a paper as measured by the tensile strain required to fracture a strip of given width, and the percentage of elongation which the paper undergoes when submitted to tension, are properties of the utmost importance.
This is subject to considerable shrinkage in casting, but is tenacious, and when drawn into wire has a tensile strength of ninety to one hundred thousand pounds.
In the case of library binding, however, the books are always sewed by hand and the sewer, as she draws the thread tight, is obliged to use some strength; for this reason tensile strength is an important attribute.
Mr. Chivers' test showed that so far as tensile strength goes, this leather is very much weaker than many leathers much less expensive.
The publishers soon discovered these facts, and since tensile strength is not an important attribute in a thread that is being used in a book sewing-machine, they use a cotton thread with thoroughly satisfactory results.
At least one binder tests the thickness, tensilestrength and other qualities of the paper and sews each book in the way that experience has shown to be the best.
The main reason linen thread has been advised for so long is because its tensile strength is much greater than that of cotton.
Some of these qualities, such as tensile strength, amount of stretch, etc.
Did you ever calculate the tensile strength of the material from which you blew the bubble?
Although its breaking strain and elastic limit are higher than those of wrought iron, the latter metal is frequently preferred and selected for tensile members, even when steel is used under compression in the same structure.
There are tests for tensile strength, for torsion to show how many twists a piece of wire will stand, and for bending.
