‘The szengthof «material depends on its abit to susan a load wth
fut undue deformation or faire. This propery is inherent in the
‘teri tel and must be determined by experiment. One ofthe mast
portant tests to perfor in this regard isthe tension or compression

be determined from this test, itis used primarily to determine the
relationship between the average normal stress and average norm
