Elastic and Plastic Deformation in Materials

ENGR 220 Homework Problems: Week 5 - Chapter 6 1. A specimen of aluminum having a rectangular cross section 10 mm x 12.7 mm (0.4 in. x 0.5 in.) is pulled in tension with 35,500 N (8000 lbf) force, producing only elastic deformation. Calculate the resulting strain. e = (35500)/(0.01*0.0127)/(69*10^9) = 0.004051 2. A cylindrical rod of copper (E = 110 GPa, 16 x 106 psi) having a yield strength of 240 MPa (35,000 psi) is to be subjected to a load of 6660 N (1500 lbf). If the length of the rod is 380 mm (15.0 in.), what must be the diameter to allow an elongation of 0.50 mm (0.020 in.)? do = sqrt(4 *. 38*6660/(pi*110*10^9 *. 5*10^-3)) do = 7.654mm 3. A cylindrical specimen of a hypothetical metal alloy is stressed in compression. If its original and final diameters are 20.000 and 20.025 mm, respectively, and its final length is 74.96 mm, compute its origina length if the deformation is totally elastic. The elastic and shear moduli for this alloy are 105 GPa and 39.7 GPa, respectively. 105GPa = 2G(1+u) u = 0.32242 ed = d-d0/d0 = 0.00124844 Lo = L(/1-ed/u) = 75.25mm 4. A cylindrical specimen of aluminum having a diameter of 12.8 mm and a gauge length of 50.800 mm pulled in tension.

Sut = 369.136 MPa (e) What is the approximate ductility, in percent elongation? The ductility, in percent elongation, is the strain at fracture pt. multiplied by a hundred. the total fracture strain at fracture is 0.165; elastic strain is about 0.005 thus plastic strain at fracture = 0.165 - 0.005 = 0.160 and the approximate ductility in percent approximation will be = 0.160*100 = 16%
