This lab manual on the uniaxial tensile test defines:
• engineering stress and engineering strain
• upper and lower yield strength
• ultimate tensile strength
• 0.2% offset yield strength
• Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio
• fracture stress
A full procedure description and lab write-up are included.
