An engineering technician performed a tension test on an A36 mild steel specimen to fracture. The original cross-sectional area of the specimen is 0.25 in2 and the gauge length is 4.0 in. The information obtained from this experiment consists of applied tensile load (P) and increase in length (∆L) The results are tabulated in Table P3.44. Using a spreadsheet program, complete the table by calculating the engineering stress (σ) and the engineering strain (ε). Determine the toughness of the material (ut) by calculating the area under the stress-strain curve, namely,
where εf is the strain at fracture. The preceding integral can be approximated numerically using a trapezoidal integration technique:

- The data in Table 1.5.3 were obtained from a tensile test of a metal specimen with a rectangular cross section of 0.2011in.2 in area and a gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) of 2.000 inches. The specimen was not loaded to failure. a. Generate a table of stress and strain values. b. Plot these values and draw a best-fit line to obtain a stress-strain curve. c.
