(1) Introduction
The objective of this lab is to find the tensile strength of a given dogbone shaped
specimen. The dogbone is composed of tempered hardboard. The dogbone width
and thickness was measured using a dial caliper. Then the test is done using the Tinius
Olsen testing machine. The specimen has two holes as shown in Figure 1, the holes will
allow the specimen to be screwed/fixed onto the Tinius Olsen machine. The machine
will then apply a tension force to the dogbone until failure occurs. The force, where
the specimen brakes, is recorded on the control panel of the testing machine.

Thickness = 0.117 DE
Width = 0.192 DE
(3) To calculate the ultimate stress of the specimens, the formula for normal stress was
used. Specimen 1 was used for an example calculation.

(4) The linear trend line shows that as the area of the specimen increases, the force needed
to fracture the specimen increases, this is shown with the positive linear line.
