    This laboratory report describes a tensile test simulation performed using SolidWorks. The student first provides background on tensile testing and the SolidWorks software. They then describe the experimental procedure of installing SolidWorks and following tutorial steps to simulate tensile testing on an alloy steel material. Graphs of stress, displacement, and strain results are presented. The student concludes that the simulation allowed them to examine the material's behavior under tensile stress and interpret its stress-strain relationship.

    Laboratory Exercise No. 1:


    Tensile Test

    Introduction

    Tensile test is one of the most fundamental and common types of mechanical testing.

    This applies tensile force to a material and measures tensile strength, yield strength, Poisson’s

    ratio, and strain-hardening characteristics. SolidWorks application are being used for this

    laboratory exercise. SolidWorks is the most widely used 3D CAD package in education and

    industry today. It is a solid modeling computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering

    program used for planning, visual ideation, modeling, feasibility assessment, prototyping, and

    project management.

    In this activity, we will have a picture in mind of how the material behaves on the tensile

    test using the simulation feature of the SolidWorks in stress analysis of the materials. Also,

    Interpret the stress-strain relationship for tensile test. Moreover, we will have a picture of how

    the tensile test will be performed.

    Experimental Procedure

    In this activity SolidWorks application is being used, so installing it to the computer is

    the primary task to be done. To know how the program works, watching the tutorial that the

    instructor provided and exploring it is a great help. In order for it to be done is to follow the

    step by step procedure from the video provided by the instructor. The provided data for the

    material in the video does not work and the result will be an error. So, the material that I am

    going to use is the available material in my SolidWorks software which is the alloy steel.

    Laws and Theories

    Hooke’s Law

    This principle of physics talks about elasticity and how the force required to extend or

    compress an elastic object by a certain distance is proportional to that distance. More force

    produces more distance. In simple words, if the tensile/compressive load is doubled, the

    increase/decrease in length will also double as long as the metal is within the proportional limit.

    Results and Discussion

    When all the required values are done, We are going to run the study of material that

    I am using. On the left side of the screen, the result of the simulation will be available.

    In the test, because a force is applied, the behavior of the material when subjected to

    tensile test is the material undergo deformation. The material elongates and its diameter

    reduces.

    Conclusions

    Based on all observations and data measurements obtained in this study, it can be

    concluded that we are able to Examine the behavior of the material when subjected to tensile

    stress, Also, Interpret the stress-strain relationship for tensile test.
