(i) Draw the “stress-strain curve” (strain axis – from 0 to 0.2)

(ii) Draw the “stress-strain curve” (strain axis – 0 to 0.02)

(iii) Determine the “yield strength”

(iv) Determine the “ultimate strength”

(v) Determine the ratio between “yield strength” and “ultimate strength”

(vi) Make Comments on the results

Solution:

Calculation:

Gauge Length = 1 inch = 1 × 25.4 = 25.4 mm

Bar diameter = 0.5 inch = 0.5 × 25.4 = 12.7 mm

Area of bar = (π/4) × (12.7)2= 126.73 mm2

Stress = 5000/126.73 = 39.45462436 N/mm 2

Elongation = 7 × 0.01 = 0.07 mm

Strain = 0.07/50.8 = 0.000137795
