Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering Homework 3

A set of load-displacement data, acquired from a tensile test of a nickel sample,

is given in this file. The gauge width, thickness and length of the sample are 2.0
mm, 0.2 mm and 10.0 mm, respectively.

1. Plot an engineering stress-strain curve according to the load-displacement

data.

3. Find the elastic constant of the sample.

112588MPa
4. Find the (engineering) yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, uniform
elongation and total elongation.

yield strength:766.40075MPa

ultimate tensile strength: 1718.21975MPa

uniform elongation: 3.808719164/10≒0.38=38%

total elongation: 4.727439164/10≒0.473=47.3%

5. What is the true tensile stress at the onset of necking?

2400.935169
6. Find the modulus of resilience, Ur, and strain hardening exponent, n, of the
sample.

modulus of resilience, Ur :(766.40075)^2/2*112588≒2.6

strain hardening exponent, n :0.2581
