Introduction: Tensile properties of materials are something you will use throughout your engineering career. Understanding how they are determined will help you get the most out of your materials. In this lab the PASPORT apparatus will be used to determine Elastic Modulus (E), Yield Strength (YS) and Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) of three test coupons. Angle and force readings will be recorded while slowly pulling the coupons until failure. The results of Lab 2: PASPORT Calibration will be used in the analysis to subtract PASPORT device deflection from the recorded data and convert load cell readings to force on the test coupon and encoder readings to coupon deflection. Equipment: - PASPORT Stress/Strain Apparatus & test coupons - Digital caliper - Vernier micrometer - DataStudio software - PASPORT Calibration lab report. (Lab 2) - Flash drive. (Please bring one to class for your data.) Units: US Customary Objective: Determine E, YS and UTS for the sample coupons. Prelab: Complete the table below. Material E (Mpsi) YS (Kpsi) CF1010 Steel HR1010 Steel 1100 H14 Al 260 H02 Brass

Subtract non-linear strain as follows: Justification: Assume that non-linearities in the low-stress part of the stress/strain curve are due to imperfect alignment of the test coupon. When the coupon begins deflecting linearly we assume it has been stretched into alignment. In a perfect world, the stress/strain curve always begins at 0,0, so we will force our curve to do the same. -Find the value of strain where your Youngs Modulus line crosses the X (strain) axis. -Subtract the value of strain thus obtained from all strains in the data set.
