Engineering Symbols/Abbreviations

(OP)
Can anyone tell me what UTS stands for or means in general mathematical and engineering terms???

RE: Engineering Symbols/Abbreviations

If you tell us how it was used it would be easier to figure out what definition you are looking for.  The Acronym finder web page gives the following results with the first one being the one that I think you are looking for:

Acronym  Definition
 
UTS  Ultimate Tensile Strength  
UTS  Unisys Transmittal System  
UTS  Universal Technical Systems, Incorporated  
UTS  Universal Time Standard  
UTS  Universal Timesharing System  
UTS  University of Technology, Sydney (Australia)  
UTS  University of Toronto Schools  
UTS  Up The Swanee (i.e. in trouble)  
UTSA  University of Texas at San Antonio  
UTSI  University of Tennessee Space Institute  
UTSL  Use The Source, Luke  
UTS-M  Universal Timesharing System for Mainframes  
UTS-S  Universal Timesharing System for Superminis  
UTSWMC  University of Texas South West Medical Center - Fort Worth  

www.acronymfinder.com was the address I went to.  Just type in UTS in the search to get the list above.  

Some other helpful websites are:

and

I hope this helps you,

RE: Engineering Symbols/Abbreviations

As far as I know, the most common use of the acronym is:
Ultimate Tensile Strength, pehaps better known now as just
Tensile Strenght.

In simplistic terms, if for instance a metal rod has an increasing force
applied causing it to stretch, (Tensional Force), when this force reaches its
maximum before the rod breaks, the UTS of the rod material is defined as
maximum force/original x-section of the rod.
