    What properties can be measured by a tensile test?
    Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength, maximum elongationand reduction in area. From these measurements the following properties can also be determined: Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield strength, and strain-hardeningcharacteristics.

    How do you test ceramic tensile strength?
    However, ceramics are often brittle and can be difficult to test under tensile loading due to their tendency to fracture at relatively low strains. Therefore, indirect methods such as flexural testing or ring-on-ring tests are often used to estimate tensile strength. Here are some common ceramic materials and their typical tensile strength values:
