Answer / Explanation:

On the basis of the test result, Ultimate strength which is mostly known as the ultimate tensile strength is the strength attached to the ability or capacity of a structural element or material used in the test to withstand elongation forces or pull force applied to it.

WHILE,

True stress at fracture can be classified as stress or load associated to the point where yielding or fracture occurred divided by the cross-sectional area at the yield point.
