Chapter 1, Problem 1.12QP

The rectangular metal block shown in Figure P1.11 is subjected to tension within the elastic range. The increase in the length of a is 0.05 mm and the Poisson’s ratio for the material is 0.33. If the original lengths of a and b were 50 mm and 25 mm, respectively, what is the change in the length of b? Is this change expansion or contraction?

A round steel alloy bar with a diameter of 19 mm and a gauge length of 76 mm was subjected to tension, with the results shown in Table P3.26. Using a computer spreadsheet program, plot the stress-strain relationship. From the graph, determine the Young's modulus of the steel alloy and the deformation corresponding to a 37 kN load. TABLE P3.26 Deformation, Load, kN mm 9 0.0286 18 0.0572 27 0.0859 36 0.1145 45 0.1431 54 0.1718
A tension test performed on a metal specimen to fracture produced the stress– strain relationship shown in Figure P1.14. Graphically determine the following (show units and all work): a. Modulus of elasticity within the linear portion. b. Yield stress at an offset strain of 0.002 m/m. c. Yield stress at an extension strain of 0.005 m/m. d. Secant modulus at a stress of 525 MPa. e. Tangent modulus at a stress of 525 MPa.
Figure P1.16 shows the stress–strain relations of metals A and B during tension tests until fracture. Determine the following for the two metals (show all calculations and units): Proportional limit Yield stress at an offset strain of 0.002 in./in. Ultimate strength Modulus of resilience Toughness Which metal is more ductile? Why?
