tension test

…In response to the demands of the times, the number of items to be measured has increased, measurement accuracy has improved, and there is a remarkable trend toward automating testing equipment, including data processing. [Yoshio Hori]
[Typical material tests]
A test in which a tensile load is gently applied to a bar-shaped test piece, and the progress of stress and strain until the test piece breaks is observed to determine the mechanical properties of the material. Young's modulus, yield stress (or proof stress), ultimate tensile stress, elongation, reduction of area (sectional shrinkage rate at the break point), etc. are measured. …

*Some of the terminology that mentions "tension test" is listed below.

…時代の要請に従って測定すべき項目も増え，測定精度も向上し，さらにデータ処理も含めて試験機の自動化の傾向が著しい。【堀 幸夫】
【代表的な材料試験】
引張試験tension test丸棒状の試験片に静かに引張荷重を加え，試験片が破断するまでの応力とひずみの経過を観察し，材料の機械的性質を求める試験。ヤング率，降伏応力(または耐力)，引張極限応力，伸び，絞り(破断個所での断面収縮率)などが測定される。…
