ultimate tensile strength
Sign in to saveAlso known as UTS, tensile strength, TS, ultimate strength, tensile force
capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to elongate; resists tension (being pulled apart); measured by the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking

Encyclopedic overview
Two vises apply tension to a specimen by pulling at it, stretching the specimen until it fractures. The maximum stress it withstands before fracturing is its ultimate tensile strength. Ultimate tensile strength (also called UTS, tensile strength, TS, ultimate strength or
