11. Concrete cracks due to tensile stress induced by shrinkage or stresses occurring during setting or use. 12. Tensile stress forms joints in rocks.13. This was due to tensile stresses in the Earth's crust and Vosges and Palatinate Forest. 14. Its tensile stress is linearly proportional to its fractional extension or strain by the modulus of elasticity: 15. Under tensile stress , plastic deformation is characterized by a strain hardening region and a atomic dislocations. 16. Once set, Roman concrete exhibited little plasticity, although it retained some resistance to tensile stresses . 17. For semiconductor surface, forming dimer is the way for it to response to the tensile stress . 18. Correct tapering ensures that the tensile stress at every point in the cable is exactly the same. 19. Tensile stresses are generated ahead of the fracture's tip, generating large amounts of shear stress.20. The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress it can take before breaking.
