Title : Tensile Test

1.0 Introduction

Uniaxial tensile test is known as a basic and universal engineering test to achieve material parameters.
These important parameters obtained from the standard tensile testing are useful for the selection of
engineering materials for any applications required.

2.0 Objectives

Upon completion of this experiment, students should be able to;

1. Determine the tensile properties subjected to tensile loading

2. Identify Types of fracture surface under tensile loading
3. Validate the data between experimental and theoretical values

3.0 Apparatus

Vernier caliper, tensile test machine, rectangular specimens, extension gauge, load gauge

4.0 Results and Discussion

Discuss the findings. Wherever necessary please use diagrams, charts and table to emphasize on
findings

5.0 Conclusion

Conclude findings from experimental data

6.0 References

List all references that have been made during the course of findings.
