DoD Task: 73653

Abstract:
An apparatus was designed and built, which will obtain relatively accurate stress-strain curves of fine metallic filaments and whiskers. The principle of operation is based upon extension of a calibrated spring to apply the load. The strain is measured optically by projecting the gauge marks on two ground-glass plates attached to dial indicators. The magnitude of error in load and strain measurements is very slight. Stress-strain measurements of elastic moduli for two filament metals were made as a final check.
