Tensile Test
Using the data given on the Excel sheet find the followings:
Sample 1 : % 0.4 Carbon Steel, oil Quenched
Initial or original Length of the sample = 33.81 mm
Final length of the sample after fracture = 35.15 mm
Initial or original diameter of the sample = 3.58 mm
Final diameter of the sample after fracture = 3 mm

1. Draw force-displacement diagrams for all four samples
on EXCEL
sheet
1. Calculate engineering stress and strain for all samples
and draw the stress-strain diagrams for all four samples
on one EXCEL sheet
σ = F / A
σ is the engineering stress in (MPa)
F is the force in (KN)
A is the cross sectional area of the sample = πd²/ 4
Ɛ = (lf – l0) / l0
Ɛ is the engineering strain (no unit)
l0 is the original length of the sample in (mm)
lf is the final length of the sample in (mm)
2. On the stress- strain diagrams for all samples show:
2.1 Yield point
2.2 Ultimate tensile stress
2.3 Breaking stress
2.4 Toughness
2.5 Elastic region
3. Calculate modulus f elasticity, percentage elongation
(%EL) and percentage reduction in area (%RA)
% EL = (lf – l0) / l0 % RA = (A0 – Af) / A0
