Tensile Test
ABSTRACT
The tensile test experiment being done purposely to determine the deformation of our specimen which is low carbon steel or also called as mild steel, and it also to identify the fracture characteristic of the specimen based on the result that we got through the experiment. Based on the data presence from this experiment ,we used it to calculate the stress and strain using a theoretical formula. Through all the calculation that we got, we construct a table and make a graph to clearly observed the relationship between stress and strain. Then, by using that graph, we identify where are the modulus of elasticity, what is the ultimate stress for this specimen and how the type of fracture for this specimen. All of this issue, we had been discussed more details in our discussion.
In this experiment we used a tensile testing machine to elongate the specimen but we drive it manually, we also use a vernier caliper to measure a length of elongation of the specimen and this experiment we carrying according to procedure given. Finally, at the conclusion we were strictly restated our stand about the result of this experiment which were value of modulus elasticity, ultimate stress and our cross-sectional of fracture specimen. The knowledge that we got from this experiment were very useful for our real job application.
