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 specimen of steel has a rectangular cross section 20 mm wide and 40 mm thick, an elastic modulus of 207 GPa, and a Poisson's ratio of 0.30. If this specimen is pulled in tension with a force of 60,000 N, what is the change in width if deformation is totally elastic? O Increase in width of 3.62 x 10-6 m O Decrease in width of 7.24 x 10-6 m Increase in width of 7.24 x 106 m O Decrease in width of 2.18 x 10-6 m
2. A steel bar, whose cross section is 0.55 inch by 4.05 inches, was tested in tension. An axial load of P = 30,500 lb. produced a deformation of 0.105 inch over a gauge length of 2.05 inches and a decrease of 0.0075 inch in the 0.55-inch thickness of the bar. Determine the lateral strain. * Your answer Determine the axial strain. Your answer Determine the Poisson's ratio v. * Your answer Determine the decrease in the 4.05-in. cross-sectional dimension (in inches). * Your answer
