Goal

To determine whether there is a significant difference in the observed strain of a material when using two different pieces of equipment to perform the experiment.

 

Hypothesis

There will be no significant difference between determining strain using an Instron (4444 model) and two clamps with weights.

 

Objectives

To determine strain using various experimental procedures.

To derive strains for simple uniaxial loading.
