Activity 6: Axial Strain

1. The Rigid Beam is supported by a pin A and wires BD and CE. If the load P on the beam

causes the end C to be displaced 10 mm downward, Determine the normal Strain

Developed in wires CE and BD. (50 points).

2. Explain the pressure strain graph dependent on your agreement, give your own model beside the given model in
the video and give an illustration of its application in your day to life

Stress-Strain graphs are additionally used to examine the conduct of a material as from time it is stacked until it
makes back the initial investment however they are determined from effectively quantifiable amounts and can be
plotted against one another.

In view of the chart, the material's unique unreformed, dumped condition is addressed by point 0. The anxiety on the
material develop as it is stacked, and the plot moves from guide 0 toward point A. At the point when point 0 and
point An are dumped it will get back to its unique shape like elastic band, and in the event that you again examine the
district at point 0 and A, anxiety are straightforwardly relative.

In the event that we proceed with the line at point A, the material will presently don't get back to its past length
whenever it has passed. It will be forever distorted here and there. The region past point An is the thing that we called
the plastic locale. At the point when a material is focused on past Point D, non-uniform misshaping and necking
happen, lessening pressure. The material will at long last break when it arrives at Point E.

Instances of pressure strain

a) Elastic Locale – A wipe ball when it's squeezed and loose.

b) Plastic Locale – A man slipped his hand and the glass of water tumbled to the floor
c) Fracture Locale – A messed up glass
