Tensile Testing

Our goal for this project was to simulate and accurately calculate the potential tension forces acting on a dog bone in tensile testing and what those forces were, or how they related to the overall test.

My dog bone was made of Brass, the length between the two threaded ends was .646 in and .091 in diameter, the dog bone is symmetrical both horizontally and vertically.

For this project there were a few things I could have likely done better, mainly pertaining to the accuracy of my calculations and measurements, as I have no concrete way of proving that I measured at the same exact points or if the numbers obtained were entirely accurate, past that however I believe I performed to the best of my abilities on this project and did my best to understand and apply the knowledge at-hand.
