True stress is determined by dividing the tensile load by the instantaneous area.The true stress – true strain curve gives an accurate view of the stress-strain relationship, one where the stress is not dropping after exceeding the tensile strength stress level. At any load, the true stress is the load divided by the cross-sectional area at that instant. Although these dimensional changes are not considered in determining the engineering stress, they are of primary importance when determining true stress. Understanding true stress and true strain helps to address the need for additional load after the peak strength is reached.ĭuring the tensile test, the width and thickness shrink as the length of the test sample increases. As a tensile test progresses, additional load must be applied to achieve further deformation, even after the “ultimate” tensile strength is reached. However, metals get stronger with deformation through a process known as strain hardening or work hardening. After that point, engineering stress decreases with increasing strain, progressing until the sample fractures.

Engineering stress reaches a maximum at the Tensile Strength, which occurs at an engineering strain equal to Uniform Elongation. At any load, the engineering stress is the load divided by this initial cross-sectional area. It is easiest to measure the width and thickness of the test sample before starting the pull. In a tensile test, the choice of when the cross-sectional area is measured influences the results. Strength is defined as load divided by cross-sectional area.
