Question 1

Using the text Materials Science for Engineers, 8e, by Shackelford


, define the following the mechanical properties of a material:
(a) Engineering stress.- Load on a sample divided by the original (Stress-free) area.
(b) Engineering strain.- Increase in sample length at a given load divided by the original (Stressfree) length.
(c) Youngs Modulus.- Slope of the stress-strain curve in the elastic region.
(d) Yield strength The strength of a material associated with the approximate upper limit of
Hookes law behavior.

Question 2
For a bronze alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 250 MPa (36,360 psi), and
the modulus of elasticity is 120 GPa (17.4 x 106 psi).
What is the maximum load that may be applied to a specimen with a cross-sectional area of 325
mm2 (0.5 in.2) without plastic deformation?
Sigma y = 2.50 x 10^8
E = 1.20 x 10^11 (Not needed)
A = 3.25 x 10^-4 m^2
F=?
F = Sigma x A
= 2.50 x 10^8 x 3.25 x 10^-4
= 81,250 N
Or
= 8.9 x 10^4

Question 3
Stress Strain Curve and Calculation

The following three stress () strain () data points are provided for a titanium alloy for
aerospace applications:

Stress ()

Strain ()

300 MPa

0.002778

600 MPa

0.005556

(a) Sketch a stress strain curve for the alloy.

(b) Calculate the Modulus of Elasticity, E.


By simple using Hookes Law, we can determine the Modulus by
E = Stress/Strain
Or

E = sigma/e
Checking the first #:
3.0 x 10^6/2.778 x 10^-3
= 1079913607
Or
107 MPa
Doing the second #:
6.0 x 10^6/5.556 x 10^-3
Again we get:
= 1079913607
Or 107 MPa

Question 4
A specimen of an aluminum alloy 3003-H14 having a rectangular cross section 10 mm x 12.7
mm is pulled in tension with 25,000 N force, producing only elastic deformation. Using the data
in Table 6.1 on Page 158, calculate the resulting strain.
A = 10 mm x 12.7 mm or 1.27 x 10^-2
F = 2.5 x 10^4 N
E = 7.0 x 10^10 N/m^2
e= ?
e= Sigma/E
= Sigma = F/A)
=2.5 x 10^4 N/1.27 x 10^-2 x 7.0 x 10^10 N/m^2
= 25,000/889,000,000
So

= 2.8 x 10^-5 N/m^2

Question 5
First, review Example Problem 6.3 on Pages 162 163.
A cylindrical specimen of a brass alloy having a length of 60 mm must elongate only 10.8 mm
when a tensile load of 50,000 N is applied, corresponding to a stress of 420 MPa.
Under these circumstances, what must be the radius of the specimen? Consider this brass alloy
to have the stress-strain behavior shown in Figure 6.6 on Page 155.
First we have to determine our Strain:
Which is simply:
Engineering Strain = L L0/L0
= 10.8 60 mm/60 mm
=-0.82 mm^2
Now we know our stress is listed as 420 x 10^6
Now we have enough info to calculate our Area:
Stress = P/A0
Which translates to:
A0 = P/Stress
= 50,000 N/420 x 10^6
= 1.19 x 10^-4
The last piece to determine is our Radius:
Which is simply the same engineering stress formula:
Stress = P/A0
Although it is converted after punching in for Pi and other parameters to make:
Radius = 50,000/Pi(420 x 10^6)^2
After calculation it turns out to be:
2.87191537 x 10^-14
