Method of σ = σ (ε) Curve Determination Considering Stiffness of Testing Machine

Abstract

The tensile test is a basis to determine strength properties in the constructional materials. The most important strength properties of materials are: yield point, ultimate strength, and Young’s modulus. The contemporary testing machines make possible to carry out the yield point and the ultimate strength with high accuracy of measurement. The determination of Young’s modulus needs to use an extensometer because the testing machine takes the displacement of the testing machine cross-bar but not extension of the tested material. The displacement is the sum of both, tested specimen deformation and testing machine one. The method is proposed to take into consideration the stiffness of the testing machine for determination of stress-strain curves of tested materials. The testing machine stiffness is approximated by a linear force-extension dependence of the machine. Therefore it is possible to calculate the machine extension for definite force. The extension should be taken away of the displacement recoded by testing machine for this force. The calculation result is the extension of a tested sample for definite force. The presented method is especially useful for compression test of short specimens.
