Download - Lab #1: Poisson’s Ratio Determine Poisson’s Ratio Determine Elastic Modulus ASTM Standard E132
Today’s Specimen 2024-T351 Aluminum Alloy Contains ~94% (Al), ~4.5%(Cu),
1.5% (Mg) Used in aircraft fittings, gears and
shafts, missile parts, veterinary and orthopedic equipment
You can use info for 2024-T3 for comparison
Perform the Experiment
Please be careful in Load Control The piston can move wildly at high
speeds if The specimen is not properly mounted Specially tuned parameters are not
loaded Be VERY CAREFUL when you use
the SETPOINT tool
Computing Elastic Modulus
Select data points by clicking on any and then Right-click and choose “Add Trendline”
Computing Poisson’s RatioSelect Transverse Strain Line, and Right Click, and choose “Format Data Series”
