ABSTRACT This initial laboratory experiment allowed us to study and obtain detailed information about the different stress strain relationships for steel and aluminum coupon samples. 6 specimens of steel and aluminum were subjected to a load and elongated until the fracture point was reached. Using the data obtained, stress strain graphs were plotted on Excel for each specimen and calculations were performed. Each specimen was compared and discussed. PROBLEM STATEMENT The determination of the stress-strain relationships while performing tension tests on coupon samples for steel and aluminum and studying the resulting data through calculations and graphical plotting were the objectives of this laboratory experiment. The resulting comparison between the different specimens, understanding the different stress strain relationships to be able to better categorize them for different uses in structural/construction purposes of civil engineering also was among the objectives of this experiment. EXPERIMENTAL METHOD A total of 6 specimens were subjected to a tension test (1045 Hot Rolled Steel, 1045 Cold Finish Steel, Copper, Brass and Cast Iron). Each specimen consequently experienced an elongation of the gage while a load was applied to each one until the complete fracture point. Using the elongation data recorded on the computer during the performing of each test, and the load data, we then calculated and plotted the strain vs strain corresponding graphs. Afterwards, we studied the graphs in detail by finding the corresponding proportional limit, the offset, ultimate stress and the strain at that corresponding point and the fracture stress and strain if specimen is fractured. Calculations were performed to obtain the ductility, the strain hardening ratio and the modulus of elasticity. Finally, the type of failure and yield behaviors, the effects of carbon content, and the shape of the stress strain curve compared with each specimen was discussed. RESULTS Initially, we have each stress strain graph for each specimen tested from 1045 Hot Rolled to Cast Iron presented with the enhanced graphical result focusing on the elastic part of the curve for each.
