Data Analysis

This document analyzes data from two specimens in a materials testing experiment. Specimen 1 was loaded with 0.5 kg and had a cross-sectional area of 3.6x10-3 m2. Measurements from the proving ring and dial gauge were recorded. Specimen 2 was loaded with 1.55 kg and had the same cross-sectional area. More measurements were recorded. Sample calculations show how load, shear stress, and normal stress were calculated from the raw measurements. A graph shows the linear relationship between shear stress and normal stress.

Sample Calculation
1. Proving ring
= dial gauge x 1.8375/1000
= 25 x 1.8375/1000
= 45.93×10-3 kN

2. Shear stress.
= Dail gauge x 1.8375/1000
Area
= 25(1.8375)/1000 kN
0.06 m x 0.06 m
= 12.76 kN/m2

3. Normal Stress, ( kN/ mm2 )
