INTRODUCTION
The primary objective of this lab was to analyze how several different
specimens reacted under increasing uniaxial load. Samples 1018 steel, 110
Copper, 360 Brass, 6061 Aluminum and Tefon were subjected to increasing
axial loads using a mechanical testing machine. By reviewing the respective
stress vs. strain graphs, Youngs modulus, 0.2% offset yield, and ultimate
tensile strength of the material is calculated.
Mechanical properties are of interest to engineers utilizing materials in
any application where forces are applied, dimensions are critical, or failure is
undesirable. Three fundamental mechanical properties of metals are the
elastic modulus (E), the yield point (y), and the ultimate strength (ult). This
report contains the results of an experiment to determine the elastic
modulus, yield point, and ultimate strength of 1018 steel, 110 Copper, 360
Brass, 6061 Aluminum and Tefon.
When forces are applied to materials, they deform in reaction to those forces.
The magnitude of the deformation for a constant force depends on the
geometry of the materials. Likewise, the magnitude of the force required to
cause a given deformation, depends on the geometry of the material. For
these reasons, engineers defne stress and strain. Stress (engineering
defnition) is given by:
F
=
(1)
A
(2)
(3)
For future experiments, it would be important to make sure that the negative
force applied while tightening the gripping of the machine is nullifed before
the force is applied and the resolution of the machine is kept in mind while
doing that. Also, it would be particularly important to make sure that there is
no slipping of the materials and the material is perfectly aligned
vertically.The following table shows the measurements of the different
materials used during the specimen.

CONCLUSIONS
The elastic modulus, yield point, and ultimate strength of 1018 steel, 110
Copper, 360 Brass, 6061 Aluminum and Tefon were determined in uniaxial
tension. The "dogbone" specimen geometry was used so that the shape
facilitate gripping the sample and failure in the central region. The elastic modulus of the
specimens was determined through the stress-strain graph and was in the
error range of 97% for all the samples. The ultimate stress was also found to
be in the error range of 0%-50%. Even though the errors were large, it can be
observed that the stress-strain relationships for the materials in the
experiments were observed efficiently and the elastic and non-elastic region
was analyzed as predicted.APPENDIX A: 1018STEEL

PRELAB EXERCISES (this page must be complete before starting the experiment and
must be turned in with your lab report)
1) Read Lab 1.
2) Why are dogbone shapes used for uniaxial tension tests?
Ans: This is because dogbone shapes facilitate gripping the sample and failure in the central
region.
3) Complete the table below.
a. Find the Youngs modulus (ksi), ultimate tensile stress (ksi), and percent
elongation of each material listed in the Specimen Preparation section above.
Give a reference for all of your values (web addresses are fine).
b. Indicate whether you expect the material to be ductile or brittle. Give
definitions below for ductile and brittle material.
Ductile = Material that experiences plastic deformation that has been
sustained at fracture is termed ductile.
Brittle = Material that experiences very little or no plastic deformation
upon fracture is termed brittle.
c. Determine the ultimate tensile force (lbs) of each material assuming that the
dogbone specimen is 1/4 inch wide and 1/8 inch thick. What is the minimum
capacity load cell that we will need for our experiments?
