Fracture

From stress-strain diagram:

a. Proportional Limit = 57,914.24 psi
b. Modulus of Elasticity:
E = 10,529.86 ksi
c. Yield Point = 69,896.49 psi
d. Yield Strength at 0.2% Offset:
Strain of Elastic Limit = at PL + 0.002
Strain of Elastic Limit = 0.0055 + 0.002
Strain of Elastic Limit = 0.0075 in/in
The offset line will pass through Q(See figure):

67 899.45

Slope of 0.2% offset = E = 10,529,861.82 psi

Test for location:
slope = rise / run
run = 0.00113793 < 0.0025, therefore, the required point is just before YP.
Slope of EL to YP

For the required point:

Yield Strength at 0.2% Offset

= EL+ 1
= 62906.85 + 1804.84
= 64,711.69 psi
e. Ultimate Strength = 73,890.58 psi
f. Rupture Strength = 67,899.45 psi
