neutral  swisstell: although cizalladuras are also used in connection with wind speed and wind stress, wind shear would not apply in the given context

tensile strength test


Explanation:
Tensile strength is indicated by the maxima of a stress-strain curve and, in general, indicates when necking will occur. As it is an intensive property, its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen. It is, however, dependent on the preparation of the specimen and the temperature of the test environment and material.

Also known as a "tensile test" or "tension test." See http://www.instron.us/wa/applications/test_types/tension/def...

You can learn a lot about a substance from tensile testing. As you continue to pull on the material until it breaks, you will obtain a good, complete tensile profile. A curve will result showing how it reacted to the forces being applied. The point of failure is of much interest and is typically called its "Ultimate Strength" or UTS on the chart.
