It is usually measured by taking a bar of the material and stretching it to destruction. The ultimate tensile strength is the maximum load divided by the bar's cross-sectional area and is measured in newtons per square meter. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:23:58</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31311668</termId><termName>strength, tensile</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31301283</termId><termName>mechanical strength</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
