properties of different materials‚ and how they will behave under load. These properties can be used for design and analysis of engineering structures‚ and for developing new Materials that better suit a specified use. This lab tested two materials mild steel and cast iron. The data from each test was used to determine valuable material properties such as ultimate tensile strength‚ modulus of elasticity‚ and yield strength. Other calculated properties included true fracture strength‚ percent reduction
