Unfortunately, these demonstrations are limited because we are generallyexperiencing bulk phenomena whereas stress and strain vary continuously through the material;the putty and the pool noodle show deflection, not strain directly. These demonstrations are alsomost vivid for large deformations whereas solid mechanics formulas are typically mostapplicable for small deformations. Quantitative experiments offer valuable experience with testequipment and allow application of solid mechanics knowledge.

Using Geology Specimens to Teach Microstructures and Error AnalysisIntroductionStructure-property-processing-performance relationships are central to the discipline of materialsscience and engineering (MSE). Undergraduate MSE curriculum often focuses on engineeringmaterials, such as steels, technical ceramics, and synthetic polymers, to teach aboutmicrostructural features and standard test methods. For instance, the well-known Hall-Petchequation relates the strength and hardness of a metal to its grain size. Students can examine thisrelationship in a lab by testing brass annealed under different conditions. The students measurethe material’s grain size using optical micrographs and test the mechanical
