Part A. A cylindrical specimen of a nickel alloy having an elastic modulus of 30x10^6 psi and an original diameter of 0.40 in. experiences only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 2000 lbf is applied. Compute the original length of the specimen if the elongation of the specimen is 0.010 in. when the 2000 lbf load is applied. Assume the deformation is entirely elastic.
Part B. Two previously undeformed cylindrical specimens of an alloy are to be strain hardened by reducing their cross-sectional areas (while maintaining circular cross-sections). For one specimen, the initial and deformed radii are 15 and 12 mm respectively. The second specimen, with an initial radius of 11 mm, must have the same deformed hardness (%CW) as the first specimen. Compute the radius of the second specimen after deformation.
