Instron Tensile Testing Fracture
Behavior of Chicken Skin with Varying Loading Rates
Name: May
Sripatanaskul
Class: BE 210
The primary objective of this experiment is to examine the effect of different loading rates on the fracture energies of chicken skin samples, which determined by integrating the stress-strain curve using the trapz() function in Matlab. This experiment aim to investigate if higher loading rates would produce higher fracture energies in the chicken under Instron 4444.
Based on results in Experiment 4 and other previously done research, the central hypothesis of this experiment is that higher loading rate will result in higher fracture energy of the chicken skin.
