California State University, Long Beach Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Fall 2023 Lab Report By Group Partners: Experiment Number: 4 Date Performed: October 11, 2023 Title: Tensile Test of Metals and Polymers Course Number: MAE 361 Section Number: 1 Class Number: EN 4 Room 125 Instructor: Dr. Shamim Mirza Objective: The goal of this experiment is to ascertain the mechanical characteristics of Aluminum 2024-T351, SAE-1018 Hot Rolled, and Brass through the utilization of a uniaxial tensile test apparatus. The outcomes of this experiment were subsequently compared to established reference values. Apparatus: 1

Figure 4: Metal pieces after being tested Procedure: In this lab, we conducted a tensile test. This test is performed in an SFM-120 tensile machine. The software on this machine will be used to calculate the samples' tensile strength. To test the tensile strength of samples made of brass, steel, and aluminum, the machine was used. The cross-section of the standard 0.5-inch diameter is often shaped like a circle, with the distance between the shoulders being four times the diameter. The device will be used to insert a specimen with the shape depicted in Figure 1 and grasp it from both ends. Afterward, during the preloading phase, an extensometer—which measures its initial length—will be left on. After that, the machine moves on to the loading phase, where a tensile load is applied to the shoulder distance. The software tool then records our data. 4
