The overall purpose of the tensile test is to evaluate the ductility and strength of the material. From the data collected during the test, various parameters are obtained, such as the elastic modulus, the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, elongation at break, or the toughness. The elastic modulus E, also known as Young's modulus, reflects the hydrogel's ability to resist deformation and is therefore a measure of stiffness. It is defined as the ratio of the tensile stress to the resulting strain in the elastic region of the material. Hence, it is calculated as the slope of the linear portion of the stress-strain curve generally spanning the strain range from Pure shear test
