TENSILE TESTING TECHNIQUE. INFLUENCE OF TEST CONDITIONS ON THE LEVEL OF MEASURED CHARACTERISTICS

The first purpose of the investigation described is to study the more important phenomena relating to yield stress. The tensile testing technique was examined with particular emphasis on the evolution of the strain distribution between machine components and specimen during the test, and the effects of strain rate, specimen geometry and axiality on the measured properties. The second object is to explore analytically the effect of the ratio of specimen stiffness to testing machine rigidity on the effective specimen strain rate during yielding.
