Authors: Steven Sun, AJ Morrell, Daniel Powers

 

Advisor: Prof. Ted Bennett

 

Project Overview:​

• Measured characteristics values (Young’s modulus, yield stress, ultimate tensile stress, ductility, etc.) of aluminum, steel, and brass using tensile tester in LabVIEW and DAQ

• Visualized stress-strain curves of metals for understanding material behaviors

• Interpreted data uncertainties and variations (systematic & material error) and performed error propagations in MATLAB
