Chapter 1, Problem 1.5.2P

A tensile test was performed on a metal specimen having a circular cross section with a diameter of 1 2 inch. The gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) is 2 inches. For a load 13.5 kips, the elongation was 4.66 × 10 3 inches. If the load is assumed to be within the linear elastic rang: of the material, determine the modulus of elasticity.

The rectangular block shown in Figure is subjected to tension within the elastic range. The increase in the length of a is 2 * 10-3in. and the contraction of b is 3.25 * 10-4 in. If the original lengths of a and b were 2 in. and 1 in., respectively, what is Poisson’s ratio for the material of the specimen?
In a tensile test for an aluminum alloy, the sample used is 2 inches long and 0.5 inches in diameter. The proportional portion of the tension stress-strain diagram for an aluminum alloy is shown below.  Determine the modulus of elasticity for this material: ____x106 lb/in2.  Pay attention to units and calculate your answer to 1 decimal place for the unit specified above.
A specimen is originally 300 mm long, has a diameter of 12 mm, and is subjected to a force of 2.4 kN. When the force is increased from 2.4 kN to 9 kN, the specimen elongates 0.250 mm. Determine the modulus of elasticity for the material if it remains linear elastic. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
