    This document summarizes a tensile test experiment conducted to determine the mechanical properties of a material. A tensile test involves pulling a specimen to the point of failure while measuring its elongation and the applied force. The results are used to calculate engineering stress and strain and plot a stress-strain curve. The test showed the specimen underwent ductile fracture, indicating the material is ductile. For more accurate results, the experiment should be performed carefully using calibrated instruments to minimize errors.

    Tensile Testing

    Literature Review:
    A tensile test, also known as a tension test, is one of the most fundamental
    and common types of mechanical testing. A tensile test applies tensile
    (pulling) force to a material and measures the specimen's response to the
    stress.[2]

    Consider the typical tensile specimen shown in Fig. It has enlarged ends or
    shoulders for gripping. The important part of the specimen is the gage section.
    The cross-sectional area of the gage section is reduced relative to that of the
    remainder of the specimen so that deformation and failure will be localized in
    this region. The gage length is the region over which measurements are made
    and is centered within the reduced section. The distances between the ends
    of the gage section and the shoulders should be great enough so that the
    larger ends do not constrain deformation within the gage section, and the
    gage length should be great relative to its diameter.[1]

    The tensile test machine is shown below


    Procedure

    The test process involves placing the test specimen in the testing machine and
    slowly extending it until it fractures. During this process, the elongation of the
    gauge section is recorded against the applied force. The data is manipulated
    so that it is not specific to the geometry of the test sample. The elongation
    measurement is used to calculate the engineering strain, ε, using the following
    equation

    where ΔL is the change in gauge length, L0 is the initial gauge length, and L is
    the final length. The force measurement is used to calculate the engineering
    stress, σ, using the following equation

    where F is the tensile force and A is the nominal cross-section of the


    specimen. The machine does these calculations as the force increases, so that
    the data points can be graphed into a stress–strain curve. The graph made
    from this experiment is as follows

    Conclusion:

    The results of the experiment shows that the specimen undergoes ductile
    fracture because there was a reduction of area at the fractured point and the
    fracture appeared cup and cone, which concludes that the material we have
    tested is a ductile material, also in order to obtain better results, the
    experiment should be done carefully and use well calibrated instruments to
    avoid errors.
