Most of us who are familiar with the term ceramics instantly gravitate towards the image of clay on a pottery wheel undergoing becoming a beautiful work of art in its own right. However, as malleable as the clay that makes up the physical composition of ceramics, the same can be said for its use outside of the art world and its involvement in the world of manufacturing engineering. Ceramics are one of the many mechanical materials contributing to the evolution of how many structures are being constructed. Ceramic possesses a certain chemical inertness, firmness, and resistance wear, proving they can be an effective alternative to the current practices of structural construction. Materials subject themselves to various loads and forces when they are in use and that mechanical behavior reflects the deformation of those applied forces and loads. When considering the concepts of loads as they pertain to materialistic design it is worth it to understand the tension, compression, and shear forces that are being acted upon it. This research will analyze the tensile stress and strain of the mycelium-hemp (composite of mushroom and hemp padding) hybrid to see where in the sample the tension is at its greatest and how much force can it be subject to before failure. The tensile test will quantity the structure’s ability to undergo a tensile load. Examining the sample post-failure will provide insights into the failure mode, i.e., within bulk or at the mycelium-ceramic interface.
