The data shown in the table below were obtained from a tensile test of high-strength steel. The test specimen had a diameter of 13mm and a gage length of 50mm. At fracture, the elongation between the gage marks was 3.0mm and the minimum diameter was 10.7mm.
Plot the conventional stress-strain curve for the steel and determine the propotional limit, modulus of elasticity (i.e the slope of the initial part of the stress-strain curve), yield stress at 0.1% offset, ultimate stress, percent elongation in 50mm, and percent reduction area.

Fracture
Tensile test is a method to investigate the elasticity of a material. A test specimen is placed between two clamps and these clamps will move in opposite directions, hence straining the test specimen. This experiment will yield a stress-strain curve that shows each of the stages of the specimen for every load is applied.
With an aid of sketching diagrams, describe the stages that the specimen experiences before it breaks, and relate it with the stress-strain curve. It is expected that each stage comes with a sketching of the specimen and explanation of the current stage.
A tensile test specimen has a starting gage length 50 mm and a cross-sectional area 200 mm2. During the test, the specimen yields under a load of 30,000 N (this is the 0.2% offset) at a gage length of 52 mm.The maximum load of 63,000 N is reached at a gage length of 57 mm just before necking begins. Final fracture occurs at a gage length of 63.5 mm. Determine (a) yield strength, (b) modulus of elasticity, (c) tensile strength, (d) engineering strain at maximum load, and (e) percent elongation.
