ten′sile strength′

the resistance of a material to longitudinal stress, measured by the minimum amount of longitudinal stress required to rupture the material.

[1860–65]

ten·sile strength

(tĕn′səl, tĕn′sīl′)

The ability of a material to resist a force that tends to pull it apart. It is usually expressed as the measure of the largest force that can be applied in this way before the material breaks apart.
