Step 1
Calculate the force applied to the specimen: F = ΔL/E*L0 For the last data point, F = 0.3/150*50 = 0.004 kN Show more…

A cylindrical specimen of brass that has a diameter of 15 mm, a tensile modulus of 100 GPa, and a Poisson's ratio of 0.35 is pulled in tension with a force of 40, 000 N. If the deformation is totally elastic and the original length is 120 mm, what is the final diameter of the specimen in mm?

A cylindrical specimen of an alloy has an elastic modulus of 255 GPa, a yield strength of 435 MPa, and a tensile strength of 670 MPa. If the specimen has an initial length of 300 mm and an initial diameter of 28 mm, determine the change in diameter of the specimen when it is uniaxially stretched precisely to the stress where plastic deformation begins. Given the Poisson's ratio of the sample is 0.32.

A cylindrical specimen of some metal alloy $10 \mathrm{mm}(0.4 \text { in. })$ in diameter is stressed elastically in tension. A force of $15,000 \mathrm{N}\left(3370 \mathrm{lb}_{\mathrm{f}}\right)$ produces a reduction in specimen diameter of $7 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{mm}\left(2.8 \times 10^{-4} \text {in. }\right)$ . Compute Poisson's ratio for this material if its elastic modulus is $100 \mathrm{GPa}\left(14.5 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{psi}\right)$.
