Graphing stress-strain plots on excel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on graphing stress-strain plots in Excel using provided data, including time (s), extension (mm), tensile stress (mPa), and tensile strain (%). Users expressed confusion regarding the correct representation of tensile stress and strain in their graphs, questioning whether the issue lies in their data input or Excel settings. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately plotting these parameters to achieve a valid stress-strain graph.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of tensile stress and tensile strain concepts
  • Familiarity with Excel graphing tools and features

1. I'm given time (s), extension (mm), tensile stress (mPa), and tensile strain (%) in a table. I'm supposed to graph it on excel, but my graphs don't look at all like a stress-strain graph.

2. I think it's probably because I'm using tensile stress or strain? Or is it an excel error I'm doing? If anyone can help me it'll be much appreciated!
