An aluminum alloy bar with a rectangular cross section that has a width of 12.5 mm, thickness of 6.25 mm, and a gauge length of 50 mm was tested in tension to fracture according to ASTM E-8 method. The load and deformation data were as shown in Table P4.6. Using a spreadsheet program, obtain the following: a. A plot of the stress-strain relationship. Label the axes and show units. b. A plot of the linear portion of the stress-strain relationship. Determine the modulus of elasticity using the best fit approach. c. Proportional limit. d. Yield stress at an offset strain of 0.002 m/m. e. Tangent modulus at a stress of 450 MPa. f. Secant modulus at a stress of 450 MPa.
