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.

 

Ultimate Tensile Strength formula

\(\large{ UTS = \frac{ F }{ A_c } }\)

Where:

\(\large{ UTS }\) = ultimate tensile stress

\(\large{ A_c }\) = area cross-section of material

\(\large{ F }\) = force or maximum load
