A cylindrical specimen of an AISI-SAE type 416 stainless steel with a 0.505-inch diameter tensile bar is machined to a 2.00-inch gage length. After fracture, the gage length is 2.20 inches and the diameter is 0.325 inches.
a. Plot the engineering stress-strain curve.
b. Determine the following properties: modulus of elasticity, proportional limit, 0.2% offset yield strength, and tensile strength.
c. Using the final values measured at the conclusion of the test, calculate the ductility in terms of % elongation and % reduction in area.
d. Determine the elastic and plastic strain to fracture.
