Tensile Testing Principles: Fundamentals, Methods and Challenges: Tensile testing can determine the component's suitability for use and its performance over time.

The article focuses on the use of tensile testing in determining the mechanical behavior of a component, part or material under static, axial loading. It mentions that test samples are often prepared to a specified size according to an international testing standard from ASTM, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the DIN. It also mentions that the test sample's deformation is used to characterize tensile strength, yield point and elastic modulus.
