The mechanical properties of Young’s Modulus, its strength and elongation in terms of metals are assessed in the entire module. The internal characteristics of the metals with its composition like metals it is made of are discussed. The determinations of mechanical properties of all the materials used in the construction of various structures which are important in engineering forces are also demonstrated as an example in this article. The behavior of the materials has also been assessed in the laboratory with a decent tensile testing done in order to be able to use the materials for construction purposes.
The data which is derived out of the tests which have been conducted are reported to the Engineers in making the right choices for investigating materials for construction purposes. On comparing the metals based on the mechanical properties the Engineers in the construction business choose the optimum material for a required purpose or project.
The Apparatus which were used, the material behavior, the stress – strain behavior in terms of proportional limits, true stresses and instantaneous cross and sectional areas which would nominate the inner load extensions will also be derived out of this process.
The units of measurement like stress and levels, the dimensions of the test specimens, monitoring activity and results which have been obtained from the analysis which has been conducted were all inferred from the testing process.
The comparison of the metals used from steel, aluminium, copper and brass were all analyzed in this process. The stress – strain graphs were also analyzed between various metals. The entire knowledge of the mechanical properties in the engineering process have been explained in the article.
