One was being pulled at each end to test its tensile strength.

An increase in tensile strength means that more force is required to break it.

High levels of such defects can lower the tensile strength by up to 85%.

Each of these hazards can reduce the tensile strength by several percent.

The added material increases the tensile strength of the ice.

This may contribute significant and needed tensile strength to walls.

Tensile strength of material must be considered while using any joining processes.

As I recall, that particular tie had a high tensile strength.

The composite also has a high tensile strength to weight ratio.

This requires a material with enormous tensile strength and light weight.
