By the end of this lab, students should be able to:100
Conduct tensile test for different material and obtain stress-
strain curve for each material
Use stress-strain curve to determine the modulus of elasticity,
yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength,
ductility and toughness of each material.

Tensile test is used to evaluate the strength of metals and alloys. In this test
a metal & plastic sample is pulled to failure in a relatively short time at a
constant rate. Before testing, two small punch marks are identified along
the specimen’s length. The ability of a material to resist breaking under tensile stress is
one of the most important and widely measured properties of materials used in structural
applications.
Test preparation

Equipment & Material preparation
INSTRON 50kN
Caliper
Test specimen: Mild steel, Aluminum & Brass
8. When the test finished, click to the utilities in the main screen to
view the result of the experiment
9. Fill up Table 2 with the data of load and displacement from the
Instron output. Convert these data to stress and strain and plot the
stress-strain diagram.
10. Repeat the experiment for the other materials (Aluminum &
Brass).
