Assessed Assignment Stress-strain
2
Mechanical Metallurgy 1: Fundamentals 1 Mechanical Metallurgy 1: Assessed Exercise This assignment looks at the creation of a stress-strain curve from simulated experimental data, and the use of this curve to measure certain key mechanical properties (as explained in Lecture 1 of the course). You will access the data and submit your answers over the web, following a link which can be accessed via MOLE. You will use a number assigned to you to generate data that is specific to yourself, which you will then have to manipulate (e.g. using Excel) to form the stress strain curve and perform the analysis. The whole exercise counts for 10% of the marks for the Mechanical Metallurgy 1 part of the module. The deadline for this work is 5pm on Friday 15 th November. What to do 1) Log in to MUSE, and go to MOLE. Find the course MAT6392 and click on the link in the left hand menu for Mechanical Metallurgy 1. Then find the folder marked Assignment, and follow the link to the website. 2) Log in to the website with your university username and password (in the pop-up box which appears). 3) Click on the link to get your start number; this will give you a file with all student names registered on the course, with a random number assigned to each of you. You only need to take note of your number. 4) You then need to click on the link to download the Excel simulation file. 5) This file has a box to type your unique number into, and will generate displacement-force data for your sample. Note that you need to enable macros for the spreadsheet to work, and that you can leave the cross sectional area and gauge length as they are, or change them, it will not affect the data you calculate. There is a help video explaining how to use the spreadsheet if it is not clear. 6) The main web page asks for 5 pieces of mechanical property data that you can determine from the curve. Please find these and fill in your answers. 7) Please note that the questions require numerical answers with the specific units given (only put numbers into the answer boxes, not the units). The marks are allocated based on the following: 2 for an answer within +/- 2% of the correct value and 1 for an answer within +/- 6%, 0 for anything else. 8) Once you are happy with your answers, please click on the submit button at the bottom of the page; note that you only get one chance to submit your data!
