Learn about the mechanical properties of steels, including testing of the steels.
Tensile Test (Part 1)
Full Code
MET0102205
Module Type
E-learning
Description
Why is it important to know the elastic and plastic properties of the steel when designing a metal structure? This knowledge helps us to limit the maximum stress that the structure can support before plastically deforming or breaking down.
These properties can be revealed with a Tensile Test.In this module an introduction to tensile test will be explained. The definition of Young modulus and the different parts of tensile test machines will be described. Then, the different ways to measure the strain in the probes and yield strain determination will be shown. Finally, the effect of deformation velocity and temperature in the strain and the device to measure the probe will be presented.
What you will learn
- Formulate an introduction to the tensile test;
- Calculate strain and true stress - true strain;
- Identify the tensile testing machines; the yield point; and the extensometry;
- Explain the effects of strain rate.
