ABSTRACT





























































































INTRODUCTION



Material characteristics and properties of steel and aluminum are important when used in construction of buildings, bridges and various structures. Understanding how these materials react during applied loads is very important in construction and design. Characteristics that aid engineers in utilizing the right material for the specific tasks are yielding strengths, ultimate strength, and the rupture strength. These characteristics can be calculated from the data obtained from the engineering tension test.

The specimens used for the tensile test in this experiment are two bars each with a constant circular cross-sectional area, which is then put under an increasing axial load. The line of action of the load at both ends passes through the centroid of the bar. The load is then systematically applied at this centroid, where the loading is increased until the bar ruptures or fails. Since the loadings is at both ends of the bar and are directed away from the bar, this produces a tensile force acting longitudinally through the bar.

The centric loading produces normal stresses in the rod that acts perpendicular to its cross-section as seen in figure 1. From these normal stresses, and the strain in the bar one can accurately determine the yielding strength, ultimate strength, rupture strengths and the modulus of elasticity of the bar.





Figure 1: Normal stress due to centric load

PROCEDURE

An INSTRON 8500 PLUS Testing System was used for the tensile test. The bar is loaded into a machine where both ends of the specimen are held in position by powerful grips, see figure 2. These grips exert the simultaneous load at each end via an electronically driven gear (or hydraulics). The machine pulls at these grips in opposite direction, thus producing the tensile force. The load and strain are recorded for analysis.



Figure 2: Electro Mechanical Testing Machines

Two separate tests were performed in this experiment; the first test was steel, while the second test was aluminum. Each bar is comprised of the same cross-sectional area, and a given test length that is measured between two points, referred to as gage marks. The change in gage length is measured by mechanical extensometers, which are placed at the designated gage marks, see figure 3. As the load is applied at the ends of the bar, the bar begins to elongate. The elongation can be measured by the change between the gage marks compared to the original gage length. This strain caused by the elongation and the load at that specific time is recorded. The data obtained from the test is then saved onto a computer excel file, where the raw data may be used to calculate properties of the tested material.



Figure 3: Gage Length before Elongation

Using this information obtained from the INSTRON 8500, we can plot the relationship between stress and strain. Normal stress s is found by dividing the applied load P on the bar, by its cross-sectional area A0. (We can visually see that the area of the bar decreases as the load increases, we use the engineering stress, in which the original cross sectional area A0 is used). The elongation data provided by the extensometer one can calculate the strain e. The strain can be calculated by taking the change in elongation, L-Lo, divided by the original length Lo. Plotting a diagram of stress versus strain we can find the modulus of elasticity from the slope s versus e in its linear elastic stage (Linear portion of the graph) . Yield, ultimate and rupture strength is also obtained from the rest of the stress versus strain diagram.

RESULT & ANALYSIS

Using the raw data, a table was constructed; see Table 1, & Table 2, where the stress and strain were calculated from the data points obtained from the engineering tension test. Multiple diagrams were constructed to visually display the data and its defining characteristics.

Figure 16: Steel: Modulus of Elasticity from Slope of Stress versus Strain 1

Figure 17: Steel: Modulus of Elasticity from Slope of Stress versus Strain 2

Figure 18: Aluminum: Modulus of Elasticity from Slope of Stress versus Strain 1

Figure 19: Aluminum: Modulus of Elasticity from Slope of Stress versus Strain 2

Using the data plotted for the stress strain diagrams for steel and aluminum, we can calculate the modulus of elasticity (E) for each of the tested materials. The modulus is the slope of the trend line for the material in the linear elastic range.

As you can see in figures 16 and 17, which were taken for two different loadings, both in the linear elastic range, and both yield the same modulus of elasticity. I choose to test the slope at two different loading points to double check that the modulus of elasticity is the same. The modulus of elasticity for the tested materials is listed below.

E (Steel) = 3*10^7 Pa or 30Mpa

E (Aluminum)= 1*10^7 or 10Mpa

CONCLUSION

Steel and aluminum are both classified as ductile materials due to the fact that the stress versus strain diagrams shares many similarities such as containing yielding point, stress hardening, necking and rupture. The biggest similarity between them is that ductile materials yield at normal temperature.

Before a material reaches its yielding point, the relationship between it load and length increase linearly. Once the yielding point is reached, in all ductile materials, the specimen lengths changes at a larger rate for a small increase in the applied load. This is where we begin the signs of shear stress, which led to the large elongation, and will ultimately lead to rupture of the material after a maximum load of the material has been reached, we can visually see a large decrease in diameter, where the loads are needed to make the material fail. The main cause for rupture is due to shearing stresses in the bar. The shearing stresses are the greatest at an angle of 45 degrees, which can be visually seen in the specimen.

Appendix A: Key Terms and Formulas Used In Calculations



Ultimate Strength: The stress corresponding to the maximum load reached in the tensile test.

Proportional Limit: The stress at which the strain ceases to be proportional to the stress (the limit of the straight part of the stress vs. strain diagram). This quantity indicates the range of stress in which the assumption of elastic action is valid.

Yield Strength: The stress determined by some arbitrary permanent strain. The most commonly used yield stress is the one determined by a line passing through a strain of 0.002, parallel with the elastic line. The yield stress represents a practical upper limit for the actual stress developed in a structure.

Ductility: The total normal strain that has occurred at failure (usually measured as the total permanent strain after failure). Elongation is generally specified in percent and is regarded as a measure of the ductility of a material.

Modulus of Elasticity: The ratio of stress to strain within the linear elastic range of a material. (The slope of the linear relationship between the stress vs. strain diagram)

Appendix B: Formulas used in calculations

Cross-sectional area of cylindrical rod = p (d2/4); where (d=diameter)

Stress = Force / Original Cross-sectional Area à s = P / A0

Strain = Deformation / Original Length à e = L-L0/ L0

Modulus of Elasticity, E = Stress/Strain à E = s/e

Here's a tip. I don'tk now how your school works, but at my school and at my work... all the raw data is shoved into the appendix. Only graphs and final calculated results (with a very very small amount of raw data is presented). You are better off defining the equations and labeling them equation 1.0, 1.2, 2.1 etc and then sticking the graph after it and referencing the raw data in teh appendix.

Wow Cheers, you're almost...ALLLLLmost U Waterloo material



You are right though. Stick raw data in the appendix.



Also, I found that it was helpful to leave printing and binding until 1 hour before the report was due. And try to be hung over (or better yet, still drunk) while you are trying to print, assemble different files, and do the self-binding ('cause it's cheaper). The dash to the dropbox is good exercise, as is knocking over the TA as he tries to open the box and collect the reports.

yeah i was thinking bout putting in the back but i decided to leave it there =) ,l I know how to write them just dont agree with all of them and plus is didn have massive equations they were simple enuff and used in the text lloll



anyone here good with fluid mechanics..



Please explain surface tension to me, i thought i had it down pat but i guess i was wrong. i remeber someone saying they were good in fluids dunno who it is

If someone on this forum is "good in fluids", I suspect he meant that he could shoot a really impressive stream of **** after drinking a six-pack.
