AER304 Lab 1

Tensile Testing of Materials

This repository contains data, code and typesetting files related to the work of Group 1 for AER304 Lab 1.

File Structure

Organization is imperative to a well functioning lab group. The file structure of the repository is as follows:

At a Glance

• The code directory contains the scripts to perform analysis on the obtained data.
• The data directory contains the data captured during the lab.
• The figures directory contains figures generated by the code
• The reference directory contains reference data or materials.

Running Analysis Code

Requires MATLAB 2019a or later.

1. Navigate the MATLAB editor to code/preprocessing and run preprocess.m
2. Navigate the MATLAB editor to code/Poisson's Ratio and run poisson_ratio.m
3. Navigate the MATLAB editor to code/Ultimate Strength and run run_this.m
4. Navigate the MATLAB editor to code/yielding and run yield_analysis.m
5. Navigate the MATLAB editor to code/youngs_modulus and run youngs_mod_gauge.m then youngs_mod_extensometer.m

The figures will appear in figures/.
