Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.5.3P

A tensile test was performed on a metal specimen having a circular cross section with a diameter 0. 510 inch. For each increment of load applied, the strain was directly determined by means of a strain gage attached to the specimen. The results are, shown in Table: 1.5.1.

a. Prepare a table of stress and strain.

b. Plot these data to obtain a stress-strain curve. Do not connect the data points; draw a best-fit straight line through them.

c. Determine the modulus of elasticity as the slope of the best-fit line.

  • The tensile test was conducted on a specimen with a diameter of 0.5 inch. A strain gage was bonded to the specimen so that the strain could be obtained directly. The following data were obtained. a) create a table of stress and strain values. Plot this data points and draw the best fit straight line through them. b) what is the slope of this line? What does this value represent?
    Consider a bar with a rectangular cross-section area with a thickness of t = 0.5 in. and height of h = 3.5 in. When force P = 19 kips is applied to the bar, the strain gages attached to the surface of the bar reads εx = 740 µε along the direction of the force and εy = -170 µε in the perpendicular direction.

    The strain rosette shown in the figure was used to obtain the following normal strain data on a piece of aluminum. The plate has a modulus of elasticity of 10,000 ksi and a Poisson’s Ratio of 0.35. The strain readings were εa = 600 με, εb = 900 με, and εc = 120 με. Note: 1 με = 1 X 10-6 in/in. a) Calculate the normal strain in the x- and y- directions (εx and εy) and the shear strain (γxy) using a system of equations. b) Calculate the normal stress σx in ksi. Clearly indicate Tension (T) or Compression (C). Note: even though the normal stress in the z-direction is zero, but the normal strain in the z-direction is NOT zero.
