View source for Notch tensile strength

The '''notch tensile strength'''  ('''NTS''') of a material is the value given by performing a standard [[tensile strength]] test on a [[notch (engineering)|notched specimen]] of the material.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Fracture Toughness Proceedings of the 1971 National Symposium on Fracture Mechanics|publisher=ASTM International|pages=83}}</ref>  The ratio between the NTS and the tensile strength is called the notch strength ratio (NSR).
