Abstract A tensile test was conducted on an Instron tensile machine using a 3/16 inch copper rod. Using data acquired stress and strain was calculated and plotted on Excel to analyze stress strain curve. Modulus of elasticity‚ 0.2% yield stress‚ ultimate tensile stress and % elongation were also calculated. Introduction A tension test is probably the most fundamental type of mechanical test you can perform on material. Tensile tests are simple‚ relatively inexpensive‚ and fully standardized
