Lab Experiment #10 Tensile Testing of Polymers City College of New York Mechanical Engineering Nafisa Alam Section 2, Group 3 Professor Jackie Li Due: 05/20/2019 The purpose of this lab is to ... understand the effects on the molecular structure of polymers when they are subjected to mechanical loads and to compare these mechanical properties to steel and aluminum. Equipment: Instron Testing Machine with Environmental Chamber Material: 1. Nylon 2. Acrylic Procedure: 1. The procedure is similar to that in the first lab, except everything needs to be operated in the environmental chamber at T = 60ºC 2. Repeat the procedure for the rest of the provided specimen at room temperature. 3. The two curves of the two specimens at different temperatures are compared. 4. Repeat step 2 with a slower displacement rate and study the effects of strain rate on the yield strength and the ultimate strength of the polymers. 5. Repeat the experiments for the Nylon specimens using a different strain rate at room temperature. 6. Compare the mechanical properties [Show More]
