The Tensile Test Experiment
TITLE :
Tensile Test

ABSTRACT

The tensile test experiment being done purposely to determine the deformation of our specimen which is low carbon steel or also called as mild steel, and it also to identify the fracture characteristic of the specimen based on the result that we got through the experiment. Based on the data presence from this experiment ,we used it to calculate the stress and strain using a theoretical formula. Through all the calculation that we got, we construct a table and make a graph to clearly observed the relationship between stress and strain. Then, by using that graph, we identify where are the modulus of elasticity, what is the ultimate stress for this specimen and how the type of fracture for this specimen. All of this issue, we had been discussed more details in our discussion.
In this experiment we used a tensile testing machine to elongate the specimen but we drive it manually, we also use a vernier caliper to measure a length of elongation of the specimen and this experiment we carrying according to procedure given. Finally, at the conclusion we were strictly restated our stand about the result of this experiment which were value of modulus elasticity, ultimate stress and our cross-sectional of fracture specimen. The knowledge that we got from this experiment were very useful for our real job application.

    Introduction: The objective of the lab was to determine the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. Another goal of this lab was to learn how to use impact-testing equipment and procedures. The lab materials included a specimen, which consists of a bar of either 6061-T6 Aluminum or 2024 Aluminum having a notch that was machined and an apparatus made up of a pendulum to impact the notched specimen.…

    Out of the three materials tested, the steel 1045 exhibited the most elastic properties, with it being able to deform elastically for a greater amount of stress than for the other specimens, as indicated by its stress-strain curve as shown in figure 1, and further supported by it having the highest modulus of elasticity of all three specimens, as shown in table 2. The mild steel specimen had the second greatest modulus of elasticity, and the aluminium specimen had the lowest modulus of…

    Analysis: For our first unknown, we observed the color and odor of the substance. The substance was a clumpy, white, crystal-like substance and it smells like new plastic. When we tested the solubility in water it resulted insoluble and in ethanol it resulted soluble. This substance could not be tested for electrical conductivity because the water was insoluble. We then tested for the PH value and it was neutral. The flame test was negative. There was no pigment in the flame.…

    Deflections of a beam are important to be able predict the amount of deflection for a given loading situation. This experiment addresses determining the yield point for a material to fail, so the stress in the material does not have to reach to that point. This is where understanding beam deflection becomes a useful tool. This experiment is using beam deflection theory to evaluate and compare observed deflection per load values to theoretical values. Beam deflection experiment done by four parts. Part 1 -Simple Supported Bean, part 2-Cantilever Beam, part 3-The Principle of Superposition, and Part 4-Maxwell’s Reciprocity Theorem. For part 1 and 2 beam dimensions were recorded and are moment of inertia (I) was calculated using the following formula I=bh3/12.for part1, maximum permissible loads for mid-span and quarter-span were calculated. For part 2 maximum permissible loads for mid-span and end of the cantilever beam were calculated. For both parts different loads were applied and deflections were recorded. After calculating average modulus of elasticity for simple supported beam, which was approximately (-27.6*10^6 psi), it was compared to modulus of elasticity chart. The result indicates that the beam simple supported beam was made of Wrought iron. For cantilever beam, average modulus of elasticity were calculated, which was approximately (9148056.3), and compared with young’s modulus chart .the result indicate that cantilever beam was made of Aluminum. Part 3 reference point was chosen, single concentrated load at other point was applied and deflection was recorded at reference point. Same procedure was applied at another point on the beam and deflection was recorded at reference point. Finally, both loads were applied and deflection was recorded at the…

    The Functionalist Theory believes deviance is needed by our society in order to create social cohesion. Emilie Durkheim asserted that our society needs deviance to stabilize our society as a whole. Social bonds are stronger from those who identify and punish deviant behavior. Social structure is where the functionalists focus their attention. Structural strain theory is related to the functionalist theory because it shows what can happen when social goals cannot be meant through legal ways (MindEdge, 2015).…

    In this experiment, a simply supported beam is used and the variations of deflection of a simply supported beam with load, beam thickness and material are investigated. It is found that the deflection of the beam changes linearly with the load and as the beam thickness increases, the beam deflection decreases. In addition, since different materials have different modulus of elasticity, deflection of different materials under a specific load is different. Depending on the results of the experiment, it is observed that the measured deflection values under different loads and for different materials overlap the Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory.…

    Materials engineering plays a crucial role in the design and production of parts for industrial applications. The mining industry is a dangerous example of industrial repetition and cyclic loading. When improper materials are selected, fatal outcomes can result, such as the accident at the Markham Colliery in 1973. The Markham Colliery was one of 14 producing mines in North Derbyshire, England, and during the time of the accident it output 30,000 tons of coal per week and employed nearly 2,300 men. Due to the complete failure the mechanical braking system of the winding engine, which transported men and materials up and down one of the shafts, 18 men lost their lives and several others were seriously injured. This accident occurred because the braking system was not properly designed. Operation of the brake over its lifetime produced higher than estimated bending forces on the system and induced fluctuating stresses on the braking rod that it could not sustain. Crack propagation developed in the rod due to bending stresses and eventually extended until fracture occurred, sending the cage of men to the bottom of the shaft at nearly 30 miles per hour. This paper examines the loading situation and presents a solution in regards to materials engineering, which would have prevented accident. Based on the loading conditions of the rod and its environment, SAE 4320 type steel that’s undergone a heat treatment will exhibit the most desirable properties. This carbon steel will show significantly decreased intergranular fatigue crack initiation and higher bending fatigue resistance.…

    The splitting tests are well known indirect tests, were conducted as per IS 5816:1999 and used in the concrete tensile strength determination sometimes called split tensile strength of concrete. The size of cylinder is 300mm length with 150mm diameter or 200mm with 100mm diameter. The specimen were kept in water for curing for 3 days, 7 days and 21 days and on test day remove and allow the surface to dry. The test is performed out by placing a cylindrical specimen horizontally between the loading surfaces of a compression testing machine and the load is applied until failure of the cylinder along the vertical diameter occurs, record the maximum load applied to the specimen and note the appearance of the concrete for any…

    There were 2 different experiment was conducted to observe the bending moment. The first experiment, Experiment 1, is to observe the bending moment at a given point using different set of weight and also to calculate the percentage error between the experimental value of the bending moment and the theoretical value of the bending moment. In second experiment, Experiment 2, the purpose is to observe how the bending moment varies at the cut when different loading conditions on the simply supported beam.…
