Problem 1.0
A cylindrical metal specimen having an original diameter of 12.8 mm and gauge length of 50.80 mm is
pulled in tension until fracture occurs. The diameter at the point of fracture is 8.13 mm, and the fractured
gauge length is 74.17 mm. Calculate the ductility in terms of percent reduction in area and percent
elongation.

Problem 2.0
A specimen of magnesium having a rectangular cross section of dimensions 3.2 mm by 19.1 mm is
deformed in tension. Using the load–elongation data tabulated as follows, complete parts (a) through (f).

Load, N Length, mm
0 63.50
1380 63.53
2780 63.56
5630 63.62
7430 63.70
8140 63.75
9870 64.14
12850 65.41
14100 66.68
14340 67.95
13830 69.22
12500 70.49
Fracture

(a) Plot the data as engineering stress versus engineering strain.


(b) Compute the modulus of elasticity.
(c) Determine the yield strength at a strain offset of 0.002.
(d) Determine the tensile strength of this alloy.
(e) Compute the modulus of resilience.
(f) What is the ductility, in percent elongation?

Problem 3.0
A cylindrical specimen of a nickel alloy having an elastic modulus of 207 GPa and an original diameter of
10.2 mm will experience only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 8900 N is applied. Compute the
maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.25 mm.

Problem 4.0
A cylindrical specimen of steel having a diameter of 15.2 mm and length of 250 mm is deformed elastically
in tension with a force of 48,900 N. Using the data for steel, E=207 GPa, G=83 GPa and poisson’s ratio =
0.30, determine the following:
(a) The amount by which this specimen will elongate in the direction of the applied stress.
(b) The change in diameter of the specimen. Will the diameter increase or decrease?
