Abstract
The validity of the predictions of any mathematical model of deformation and stress distribution — no matter how carefully constructed — depends ultimately on one’s ability to assess the mechanical properties and characteristics of the material to be used and to apply these data in the actual calculations. For this reason, testing material properties is a matter of utmost importance for an engineer. No design can possibly be regarded as successful unless it is firmly based on good understanding of the potential of the material and its consequent ability to respond satisfactorily to the proposed system of loading.
