Tensile test
(Data Sheet)
__________________________________________________________________
This data sheet contains all the information needed to complete your report. First, you
have to complete the following tables using the equations given and any software you
want (like MS-Excel), then include the complete tables in the data analysis section of
your report with sample of calculations.
Finally, discuss the results of your data and with simple words write your conclusions.

Exp#2
1- Convert the data from the machine which represents (load - ΔL) to one represents (stress-strain) by
divide the load values by the original area Ao also divide ΔL values by original length Lo.
2- Do not add the raw data to your report. Just make sample of calculations for the stress and strain. Also,
do not add the load-deformation curve because we need the stress-strain diagrams only.
4- Define each term in the steel table, and explain how you calculated it.
5- Fill all the tables from the modified machine data and from the stress-strain diagram.
6- Based on your results, compare between the ductility of the three materials.

Part 2: Steel specimen with strain gauges (Elastic range only)
1- We first complete the following columns in the table shown below in the lab:
• Load in kilo Newton
• Axial and Lateral Strain
2- Depending on the information given below, complete filling all the remains columns.
• , A∘ = a × b
E
𝐊=
3(1 − 𝟐ν)
4- Compare the experimental values of the E and ν with the actual values using any suitable reference.
