ME 330 Spring 2024 Laboratory #2, Tension Testing Individual, Formal report Tables and graphs must be titled. Properties in tables must include units. Graphs must have clearly labeled axes with units. Analysis of Results & Points for Discussion 1. Plot the engineering stress-strain curves for all materials (1018CR steel, 304 stainless steel, cold rolled and normalized 1045 steel, 7075 and 2024 aluminum alloys, PMMA, annealed brass, and cast iron) tested on the same graph. Adjust the strain scale to compare initial stiffness for all the materials on a separate graph. Comment on the ultimate strength, deformation at failure (%elongation) and stiffness differences. 2. For all materials tested (demonstrations included), compute the following "engineering" properties: hardness (remember to indicate hardness scale), elastic modulus, engineering 0.2% offset yield strength, upper and lower yield strength (where applicable), ultimate strength and percent elongation, from all tensile tests, and present them in tabular form. 3. Plot the engineering and true stress-strain behavior for the 1018CR steel, 304 stainless steel, 7075 aluminum alloy and PMMA on separate plots for each material. How do these curves differ from the engineering stress-strain curves for these materials? 4. Determine the power law strain hardening constants for the Ramberg-Osgood equation shown below (strain hardening coefficient, K, and strain hardening exponent, n), only for the annealed brass and the 7075 aluminum alloy. Remember to use true stress and true plastic strain. t = K tp ( ) n 5. Sketch (or take a photo) each type of tensile failure surface observed labeling relevant features and associate each material tested with one of the sketches. Include details observed with the stereo-microscope. Characterize the types of failure observed in the tensile tests with regard to their dependence on principal (failure perpendicular to principal loading direction for a tensile test) and/or shear (failure via shear stress at roughly 45 degree angle to loading direction for a tensile specimen) stress-strain quantities. 6. Plot the engineering tensile and compressive behavior for the cast iron 1 and 7075 aluminum alloy on separate plots for each material. Scale all data so it may be plotted in the first quadrant. Which material differs most between tensile and compressive behavior? Speculate on the reasons why. 1 Although cast iron is not tested this semester, its data from previous semesters has been upload to the same folder.
