I. Topic: Tension testing

2.What is tension test?
Tension test is a fundamental material science test in which a sample is subjected to uniaxial tension until failure. The results from the test are commonly used to select a material for an application, for quality control, and to predict how a material will react under other types of forces. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength, maximum elongation and reduction in area. From these measurements the following properties can also be determined: young’s modulus, poison ratio, yield strength, and strain hardening characteristics.

3.The tension tester A machine which applies a tensile force (a force applied in opposite directions) to the specimen, and then measures that force and also the elongation: This machine usually uses a hydraulic cylinder to create the force. The applied force is determined by system pressure, which can be accurately measured.

Materials:
1.Specimen made up of aluminum alloy having a round cross section and threaded shoulders which design for serrated grips. 2.Steel marker . 3.Testing machine.(hydraulics)

1.Prepare the specimen required as shown. 2.Mark the sample specimen to establish its original formation. 3.Insert the specimen to the grip holder. Then the sensor grip at the center of the specimen to ensure that there will be no fault action on the test. 4.Start the machine, perform the test, Obsreved. 5.Look at the specimen where in as you can see it starts changing its diameter. 6.Wait until it breaks. 7.Remove the Specimen to the machine.

    First of all, gather all the materials that are required for the lab and setup accordingly for the lab. Place the ruler on the lab table so that 0 cm projects beyond the lab table. Measure the height from the free end of the ruler (bottom line of the ruler) to the floor and record the data in a table. Clamp a meter stick on the table horizontally such that 20 cm is projected beyond the table. Measure the height again from the free end of the ruler to the floor and record it. Attach a 1 kg load to the free end of the ruler and measure the height from the free end of the ruler to the floor and record the data. Repeat this same procedure for 30 cm, 40cm, 50cm, 60cm, 70cm, and 80cm. Remember to check the zero load height every time before putting on the load. Repeat the above procedure for second trial so that you can get more precise data for the experiment.…

    The foundation of Materials Science lies in characterization of a material’s properties. Among those properties the greatest interest lies in the strength of materials, being the most basic requirement for any kind of construction. This lab aims first to describe the strength of 1045 annealed and cold-rolled steel, 2024-T4 aluminum, and cast iron through tensile testing. This includes characterization of yield strengths, modulus of elasticity, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture strength for each material. An emphasis is placed on elastic-plastic deformation in terms of ductility and how temperature and fatigue can affect this transition. Elastic and plastic…

    An Amsler universal testing machine with a loading capacity of 300kN was used to load specimens in compression. The test set-up is shown in Fig. 2. Pin ended support conditions using ball bearing supports were used for all the specimens as described by Liu and Hui [7]. Each support consisted of two 10mm parallel plates with 30mm diameter stainless steel ball seated between them on sockets suitably milled into the plates as shown in Fig. 3. The geometric centres of both top and bottom loading plates were marked and aligned with the steel ball and the centre of the loading head. Vertical deformations and mid-height lateral deflections of each specimen were measured using three dial gauges.…

    Stress relaxation is an intrinsic property of a material, in which, the material decreases the applied load held at constant strain with passage of time. The total strain remains constant but a fraction of the elastic strain transforms into plastic strain [3]. Stress relaxation characteristics of a material become vital when designing mechanical fasteners, riveted or bolted assemblies, shrink or press-fit components, solderless electrical connectors, etc. Moreover, stress relaxation data could be beneficial to predict necessary heat treatment to relief the residual stresses in castings, forgings, cold rolled or welding assembles [4].…
