A bar made of high strength low-carbon steel of GRade 50 (yield strength gauge 50 ksi) , is 0.5 inch thick and 1.2 inch wide. The ultimate tensile strength of the steel is 70 ksi. Determine the load at which the bar starts to yield and also determine the load when the bar is likely to fracture. Taking the original gauge length to as 5 inches and Young’s modulus of steel as 30 x 10^6 psi, estimate the new gauge length when the specimen is stressed at 2/3 of the yield stress.

A bar made of high strength low-carbon steel of GRade 50 (yield strength gauge 50 ksi) , is 0.5 inch
thick and 1.2 inch wide. The ultimate tensile strength of the steel is 70 ksi. Determine the load at which
the bar starts to yield and also determine the load when the bar is likely to fracture. Taking the original
gauge length to as 5 inches and Young’s modulus of steel as 30 x 10^6 psi, estimate the new gauge length
when the specimen is stressed at 2/3 of the yield stress.
