ENSC 330 LAB #1 PULLING THINGS APART Andy Somody 97300-6222 1. Introduction The following experiment was designed to determine some of the mechanical characteristics of various materials. These included the stress strain characteristics, such as Young's Modulus, yield strength and tensile strength. We also performed experiments to determine the resistively, relative hardness, and toughness of the given samples. We then used the theory of material science to help explain the properties of our samples. Please refer to the lab hand out, "Pulling Things Apart" for the objectives, materials and procedures. 2. Observations The lab handout has specified that two of the provided samples are composed of the same material. In our case, it appeared on initial inspection that metal #1 and metal #2 were composed of the same metal. This initial observation will be supported by comparing the stress-strain characteristics of metals #1 and #2. The following observations were made before the samples were tested for their various physical properties. The measurements...
