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!

Line graph titled Tensile stress (MPa), with x-axis from 0 to 70 and y-axis from 0 to 1.2; the curve rises almost linearly to about 1 MPa near x = 60, then drops sharply to about 0.57.


Can someone please help out please?
