2015. 10. 14. · What is Yield Strength. When the stress on a material is slowly increased, you can see that the strain increases in proportion in the beginning.If the force causing stress on the material is removed, then the material would. in which X is the tensile strength, F is the breaking force, D is the tablet diameter, and H is the tablet thickness. Because only tablets that fail in tension are counted, the data are based on tablets that fail in a consistent way. Thus, reproducibility of data should be enhanced when compared to conventional breaking-strength testing.
