Procedure
You will use a tensile test simulation to observe how the test is performed and how the
force displacement graph is created during the test. You will perform calculations
using the graph to better understand the graph and important data.
7. Test the material by dragging it into the clamps and pressing Start.
8. Upon completion of the test, enlarge your browser window by using Ctrl + so
that the graph is large.

Conclusion Questions
1. Test and observe the graph created when testing cast iron. What does the
graph tell you about the hardness of cast iron? Describe an application where
the hardness of cast iron would be an advantage.
It’s really hard and it not really elastic. Application where you won’t be put under a lot of
stress
2. Compare the difference in the size and shape of the material if the test is
stopped before or after the yield point. Its will go back to its original shape if
you don’t pass the yield point but if you do pass it it’s permanently deformed
