Introduction
Tensile test plays an important role in understanding the mechanical properties of materials.
Unlike torsion or compression, this test shows easiness and consistency of experimental
results.
In this experiment three types of specimens will be conducted to tensile test. Using universal
load frame specimen can be elongated and amount of force applied and change in length can
be recorded. This results can be used for calculation of yield stress, elastic modulus and
constructing stress-strain diagram.
Equipment and apparatus
Theory
The result of experiment consists force applied and elongation of specimen.
Stress can be calculated using following formula:
F
A
L
L0
Yield stress is the amount of stress, after which plastic deformation starts to form.
Area reduction can be used as a good indication of ductility of material. If it is high the
material is ductile, otherwise brittle.
