| Summary: | The mechanical properties of a material are directly related to the response of
the material when it's subjected to mechanical stresses. The results of tensile tests are
used in selecting materials for engineering applications. Tensile properties frequently
are included in material specifications to ensure quality. Tensile properties often are
measured during development of new materials and processes, so that different
materials and processes can be compared. Since characteristic phenomena or
behavior occur at discrete engineering stress and strain levels, the basic mechanical
properties of a material are found by determining the stresses and corresponding
strains for various critical occurrences. A wealth of information about a material's
mechanical behavior can be determined by conducting a simple tensile test for
bicycle crank arm of uniform cross-section is pulled until it ruptures or fractures into
separate pieces. Finally, tensile properties often are used to predict the behavior of a
material under forms of loading other than uniaxial tension. This mechanical testing
was done by using Instron 8802 Dynamic Machine. Based on the initial geometry of
the sample, the engineering stress-strain behavior (stress-strain curve) can be easily
generated from which numerous mechanical properties, such as yield strength and
elastic modulus, can be determined. The major parameters that describe the stress-
strain curve obtained during the tension test are the tensile strength (UTS), yield
strength or yield point (y), and elastic modulus (E). By using the X-Ray
Diffractormeter, it can determine the types of material which include in the bicycle
crank arm.
