ABSTRACT
The analysis was directed to assist through establishing functional characteristics of the chosen
objects sample also known as Mild Steel. The basic requirement of this particular task was to use
the standard machine that is recommended for testing to carry out the property determination
exercise. This particular machine can effectively help in the determination of the characteristics
of the material including yield strength and ultimate strength. The construction engineers will
and also experts of the material science normally study the behaviour of the materials before a
suggestion is given for a particular use.
The establishment of the behaviour and also general characteristics of the material will depend
on the experimental tests that have been performed. In such experiments, the relationship
between force and extension are normally looked into. The engineering property of the sample
that has been properly studied in this particular project is the quality of the yield. This particular
material property was found to change from one metal to another. The sample used for the study
was mild steel. Although different metals have different response to the force- extension tests,
the metal that was chosen for the study is called the mild steel. From the experiment that was
carried out, it was established that steel has perfect characteristics in its engineering applications.
This could be the reason why this particular metal is highly preferred for the engineering use.

INTRODUCTION
The material use within various engineering places requires that their properties that are related
to the mechanical work are known. This is very crucial in the cases where the forces are involved
and there are no expected failures on the components. The measurements in engineering
normally value these properties to assist in the generation of the exact dimensions. The
commonly known properties of the materials include the following. The modulus versatile which
is normally designated letter E as well as the strain (Aghaie, Honarvar and Zanganeh 2012.).
The point of failure in the material, as well as the quality of the definitive, is very important. The
piece of the literature that has been provided here illustrates the finding of the experiment that
was carried out in the laboratory to determine these characteristics. The experiment focused on
the determination of the modulus flexibility, the point of the yield and other extreme qualities of
the material sample. The chosen material was mild steel. The properties became of interest of the
study since they affect directly the safety requirements in the engineering applications. This has
