Introduction

Tensile testing is usually conducted to select a material for its application, quality control, and to forecast how the material is likely to react on deployment of different types of forces. The properties evaluated through the tensile test include the ultimate tensile strength, the maximum elongation, X-area reduction and so forth. These evaluations facilitate determination of such properties as Young’s Modulus, yield strength, Poisson’s ratio, and the characteristics of strain hardening [1. 2]. Tensile testing on glass fibre is, thus, performed to determine the quality of the material it contains, and to ascertain its suitability for various applications.
