Introduction
Tension Test
A specimen is deformed,
usually to fracture, with a
gradually increasing tensile load
that is applied uniaxially along
the long axis of a specimen.

TENSILE PROPERTIES
Tensile Strength
Ductility
a measure of the degree of plastic
deformation that has been sustained at
fracture.
Toughness
The mechanical
characteristics of polymers
are much more sensi- tive
to temperature changes
near room temperature.
Consider the stress–strain
be- havior for poly(methyl
methacrylate) at several
temperatures between 4
and 60◦C
Exercises
measure of a material’s
resistance to localized plastic
deformation (e.g., a small
dent or a scratch).
