I. Procedure

1. Enter the Wiley-Virtual Materials Science And Engineering (VMSE) platform:

2. Select the "Tensile Tests" option

3. Select the metal alloy "Cast Iron"

4. Capture the generated stress-strain curve

5. Move the graph cursor to get; the modulus of elasticity (E), the Tensile Strength (TS) and the fracture point of the Cast Iron.

II. Objective

a) Obtain the Stress-Strain curve for the Cast Iron metal alloy.

b) Estimate the Modulus of elasticity (E), from a)

c) Identify the Tensile Strength (maximum stress that the material can withstand before breaking when it is allowed to stretch or pull).

d) The fracture point of the material (, )
