Objectives
General objectives
- Identify and compare the different
mechanical properties of two materials
Specific objectives
- Plot the stress vs strain graphs for each
material
- Identify crucial points in the stress vs
strain curves, which help understand the

Comparing the experimental, and theoretical

that the method is not exact, which can be
attributed in some proportion to the possibility
that the equipment was not calibrated; yet, the
