PROBLEM 3: A cylindrical specimen of stainless steel having a diameter of 12.8 mm and a gauge length of 50.800 mm is pulled in tension. Use the load-elongation data shown in the following table to (a) plot the engineering stress versus engineering strain curve; (b) compute the modulus of elasticity; (c) determine the yield strength at a strain offset of 0.002; (d) determine the tensile strength; (e) determine the approximate ductility in percent elongation; and (f) compute the modulus of resilience.
