Study Notes
Tensile Tests on Steel Specimens
- Three steel specimens (0.2%, 0.5%, and 0.8% carbon content) with a 25mm diameter were subjected to tension until rupture.
- Gauge length was 50mm.
- Table P3.19 shows load vs. deformation data for each specimen at various deformation increments.
Calculations
- Calculate tensile stress and strain for each specimen and load increment.
- Plot stress vs. strain for all specimens on one graph.
Material Properties
- Proportional Limit: Determine the proportional limit for each specimen.
- 0.2% Offset Yield Strength: Determine the 0.2% offset yield strength for each specimen.
- Modulus of Elasticity: Determine the modulus of elasticity for each specimen.
- Strain at Rupture: Calculate the strain at rupture for each specimen.
Effect of Carbon Content
- Analyze the effect of increasing carbon content on:
- Yield strength
- Modulus of elasticity
- Ductility
