behavior of a material under stretching force
Tensile properties refer to the behavior of a material when it is subjected to a stretching force. This includes how much the material can be stretched before it breaks (tensile strength), how much it can deform (elongation), and how it responds to the applied force (stress-strain relationship). These properties are crucial for understanding the durability and flexibility of materials, including hair, which can be important in fields like dermatology and cosmetic science.
