Chapter 1, Problem 1.11QP

The rectangular block shown in Figure P1.11 is subjected to tension within the elastic range. The increase in the length of a is 2 × 10–3 in. and the contraction of b is 3.25 × 10–4 in. If the original lengths of a and b were 2 in. and 1 in., respectively, what is Poisson’s ratio for the material of the specimen?

A 5-mm-thick rectangular alloy bar is subjected to ajtensile load P by pins at A and B, as shown in the figure. The width of the bar is w = 33 mm. Strain gages bonded to the specimen measure the following strains in the longitudinal (x) and transverse (y) directions: €, =710 με and ε,--255 με (a) Determine Poisson's ratio for this specimen. (b) If the measured strains were produced by an axial load of P = 24 kN, what is the modulus of elasticity for this specimen? Answers: (a) v= (b) E= GPa
A tension test performed on a metal specimen to fracture produced the stress– strain relationship shown in Figure P1.14. Graphically determine the following (show units and all work): a. Modulus of elasticity within the linear portion. b. Yield stress at an offset strain of 0.002 m/m. c. Yield stress at an extension strain of 0.005 m/m. d. Secant modulus at a stress of 525 MPa. e. Tangent modulus at a stress of 525 MPa.
The rectangular block shown in Figure is subjected to tension within the elastic range. The increase in the length of a is 2 * 10-3in. and the contraction of b is 3.25 * 10-4 in. If the original lengths of a and b were 2 in. and 1 in., respectively, what is Poisson’s ratio for the material of the specimen?
