Abstract
The author describes a method, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whereby the complete average true stress-strain curve in tension may be determined for a material from the beginning of yielding to fracture under ordinary testing speeds by the observation during the test of only two loads applied to a tapered specimen, namely, the maximum and fracture loads. Diameters at various positions along tapered specimens are measured before and after the test, and stress and reduction-of-area values computed from these observations.
