4 9/19 1.9, 1.29, Cauchy formula problem given in class.
5 9/19 1.35, 1.40a, 1.44, Problem given out in class.
6 9/19 2.2, 2.3, Franc problem given on handout
7 9/26 2.4, 2.18
8 9/26 2.26, 2.33, FEA problems given in class
9 9/26 1. Problem given in class. 
2. Textbook problem 2.23
10 10/03 1. Plot strain versus time using this data file
2. Knowing that the material is steel, plot stress versus time. How does the peak load applied to the specimen using the MTS machine compare to that calculated using the strain gage? 

NOTE:  The first column of data is the output of the strain gage in millivolts.  The second column is time in milliseconds.
