Problem 7

A thin-walled tube is placed in simultaneous tension and torsion, causing a stress state as shown here. Construct a plot of $\tau / \sigma_{Y}$ vs. $\sigma / \sigma_{Y}$ at which yield will occur according to the (a) Tresca and (b) von Mises criterion. ( $\sigma$ is the tensile yield stress.)

Problem 9

For polycarbonate, the kinetic parameters in $6.1 .4$ are found to be are $\dot{\epsilon}_{0}=448 s^{-1}, E_{Y}^{*}=309 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$, and $V *=3.9 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{mol}$. Find the yield stress $\sigma_{Y}$ at a strain rate of $\dot{\epsilon}=10^{2} s^{-1}$ and temperature $40^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$

Problem 11

The yield stress of a polymer is measured to be $20 \mathrm{MPa}$ at a temperature of $300 \mathrm{~K}$ and a strain rate of $10^{-3} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. When the strain rate is doubled from this value, the yield stress is observed to increase by $10 \%$. What is the apparent activation volume for yield in this case?

A sample of linear polyethylene was tested in uniaxial loading at $T=23^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $\dot{\epsilon}=10^{-3} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. The yield stress $\sigma_{Y}$ was found to be $30.0$ MPa in tension and $31.5$ MPa in compression. Determine the pressure-dependency constant $A$ in Eqn. 3 .

Problem 14

A circular shaft of radius $\mathrm{R}$ is subjected to a torque $T$.
(a) What value of $T$ will be just large enough to induce yielding at the outer surface?
(b) As the value of $T$ is increased beyond the level found in (a), determine the radius re within which the material is still in the elastic range.
(c) What value of $T$ will make the shaft fully plastic; i.e. $r_{e}=0 ?$
