Define ultimate tensile strength.
To define:The ultimate tensile strength.
Explanation of Solution
Ultimate tensile strength:
The ultimate tensile strength is defined as the maximum allowable strength for any material without breaking under the application of load. It is also called tensile strength. This is the maximum stress in the stress-strain curve. Thus, ultimate strength is the extreme stress that material can bear.
As shown in the figure below stress-strain curve for the materials. In the above figure, the AB represents the proportional limit, BC represents the yield limit, and D denotes the (UTS) Ultimate tensile strength. After point D, the material will go under fracture, as shown in the figure.
