Homework 3 Tensile Test
2022
Aim of Study: In examples and charts which are shown below, a real-world tensile test result is used
to explain relationship between force and kind of material and their effects on matter’s ductility,
stress strain curve. This study also includes comparisons between theoretical engineering tests and
real ones.

1) The basic idea of a tensile test is to place a sample of a material between two fixtures called
"grips" which clamp the material. The material has known dimensions, like length and cross-sectional
area. We then begin to apply weight to the material gripped at one end while the other end is fixed.
We keep increasing the force while at the same time measuring the change in length of the sample.
We need a way of directly being able to compare different materials, making the “strength” we
report independent of the size of the material. We can do that by simply dividing the load applied to
the material (the weight or force) by the initial cross-sectional area. We also divide the amount it
moves (displacement) by the initial length of the material. This creates what material scientists refer
to as engineering stress (load divided by the initial cross-sectional area) and engineering strain
(displacement divided by initial length). By looking at the engineering stress-strain response of a
material we can compare the strength of different materials, independently of their sizes.
To use the stress-strain response for designing structures, we can divide the load we want by the
engineering stress to determine the cross-sectional area needed to be able to hold that load.
