Question

what is tensile stress???

Answer 1

Tensile stress (or tension) is the stress state leading to expansion; that is, the length of a material tends to increase in the tensile direction. The volume of the material stays constant. When equal and opposite forces are applied on a body, then the stress due to this force is called tensile stress.

Answer 2

Tensile strength is a measurement of theforce required to pull something such as rope,wire, or a structural beam to the point here it breaks.The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can take before failure, for example breaking.
