A brass alloy is known to have a yield strength of 275 MPa (40,000 psi), a tensile strength of 380 MPa (55,000 psi), and an elastic modulus of 103 GPa (15.0×106 psi). A cylindrical specimen of this alloy 8.9 mm (0.35 in.) in diameter and 241 mm (9.50 in.) long is stressed in tension and found to elongate 6.2 mm (0.24 in.). On the basis of the information given, is it possible to compute the magnitude of the load that is necessary to produce this change in length? If not, explain why. What is the yield strain? What is the test strain? b) If it is possible to calculate the load, what is the load value in N?  If this computation is not possible enter a zero (0)

Question

A brass alloy is known to have a yield strength of 275 MPa (40,000 psi), a tensile strength of 380 MPa (55,000 psi), and an elastic modulus of 103 GPa (15.0×106 psi). A cylindrical specimen of this alloy 8.9 mm (0.35 in.) in diameter and 241 mm (9.50 in.) long is stressed in tension and found to elongate 6.2 mm (0.24 in.). On the basis of the information given, is it possible to compute the magnitude of the load that is necessary to produce this change in length? If not, explain why.

What is the yield strain?
What is the test strain?
b) If it is possible to calculate the load, what is the load value in N?  If this computation is not possible enter a zero (0)
