Ultimate Tensile Strength
Ultimate tensile strength, abbreviated as UTS, also called tensile strength or ultimate strength, is the maximum stress a material can resist before it starts to elongate.

\(\large{ UTS }\) = ultimate tensile stress | \(\large{ \frac{lbf}{in^2} }\) | \(\large{ Pa }\) |
\(\large{ A_c }\) = area cross-section of material | \(\large{ in^2 }\) | \(\large{ mm^2 }\) |
\(\large{ F }\) = force or maximum load | \(\large{ lbf }\) | \(\large{ N }\) |
