1. What is the difference between elastic strain andplastic strain?
A tensile test was conducted by the CE 405 Construction Material and Testing course on a specimen with a diameter of 12.70 mm. A strain gage was bonded to the specimen so that the strain could be obtained directly. The following data were obtained: Microstrain - (physics) A strain expressed in terms of parts per million. Create a table of stress and strain values. Plot these data points, and draw a best-fit straight line through them. What is the slope of this line? What does this value represent?
