Tensile testing measures the response of a specimen to an axial pulling force. A tensile modulus experiment uses the initial proportional response to infer Young's modulus.

Tensile testing, also known as tensile strength testing, is a fundamental mechanical test used to measure the properties of materials under uniaxial tensile (pulling) stress. The primary objective of tensile testing is to determine how a material will behave when subjected to tension, which is critical for understanding its strength, ductility, and overall mechanical performance.
