- Compare the engineering and true secant elastic moduli for the natural rubber in Example Problem 6.2 at an engineering strain of 6.0. Assume that the deformation is all elastic.arrow_forwardA 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 4.6610 3 inches. If the load is assumed to be within the linear elastic rang: of the material, determine the modulus of elasticity.arrow_forwardThe frame of a space shuttle type vehicle must have a high yield strength and high stillness, and the most important design factor is weight. Of all the materials presented in this chapter, what material might be the most suitable for the frame of a space shuttle? Assume that there will be both tensile and compressive stresses. For a space shuttle, cost is not a limiting factor. (a) You can eliminate entire classes of materials from consideration with a brief statement about their unsuitability. (b) What material has the highest specific yield strength? Give the yield strength, specific gravity, specific yield strength, elastic modulus, and specific elastic modulus for this material. (c) What material has the highest specific elastic modulus? Give the yield strength, specific gravity, specific yield strength, elastic modulus, and specific elastic modulus for this material. (d) Compare the materials with the highest specific yield strength and highest specific elastic modulus for suitability in the space shuttle frame. (C) Discuss the suitability of the top-rated material for this design from the viewpoint of the ability to produce a frame.arrow_forward
- An aluminum alloy cylinder with a diameter of 3 in. and a height of 6 in. is subjected to a compressive load of 50,000 pounds. Assume that the material is within the elastic region and a modulus of elasticity of 11 * 106 psi. a. What will be the lateral strain if Poisson’s ratio is 0.33? b. What will be the diameter after load application? c. What will be the height after load application?arrow_forwardCalculate the plane stresses involved where two pieces of steel are welded together. Our sign convention defines forces causing the object to be in tension positive and forces causing the object to be in compression negative. As we can see from the picture our σx = −4.5MPa and σy = 10MPa. Steel has an average Young’s modulus of elasticity of E = 200 GPa and an average Poisson’s ratio of ν = .285 Because it is not defined we will assume that initially there is no shear stress, τxy = 0. Solve only for: Compression in the x-direction(deformation along the weld)=(-Blank 4)? x 10^-5arrow_forwardA cylindrical specimen of stainless steel having a diameter of 12.8 mm (0.505 in.) and a gauge length of 50.800 mm (2.000 in.) is pulled in tension. Use the load–elongation characteristics shown in the following table: (see attached picture) (a) Plot the data as engineering stress versus engineering strain. (b) Compute the modulus of elasticity. (c) Determine the yield strength at a strain offset of 0.002.(d) Determine the tensile strength of this alloy.e) What is the approximate ductility, in percent elongation? (f) Compute the modulus of resilience.arrow_forward
