6.4 A cylindrical specimen of a titanium alloy having an elastic modulus of 107 GPa (15.

5 106 psi) and


an original diameter of 3.8 mm (0.15 in.) will experience only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 2000 N
(450 lb f ) is applied. Compute the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable
elongation is 0.42 mm (0.0165 in.).

Solution
We are asked to compute the maximum length of a cylindrical titanium alloy specimen (before deformation)
that is deformed elastically in tension. For a cylindrical specimen

Tensile Properties
6.25 Figure 6.21 shows the tensile engineering stressstrain behavior for a steel alloy.
(a) What is the modulus of elasticity?
(b) What is the proportional limit?
(c) What is the yield strength at a strain offset of 0.002?
(d) What is the tensile strength?
Solution
Using the stress-strain plot for a steel alloy (Figure 6.21), we are asked to determine several of its
mechanical characteristics.
(a) The elastic modulus is just the slope of the initial linear portion of the curve; or, from the inset and
using Equation 6.10

(200 0) MPa
=
= 200 10 3 MPa = 200 GPa ( 29 10 6 psi)

(0.0010 0)

The value given in Table 6.1 is 207 GPa.


(b) The proportional limit is the stress level at which linearity of the stress-strain curve ends, which is
approximately 300 MPa (43,500 psi).
(c) The 0.002 strain offset line intersects the stress-strain curve at approximately 400 MPa (58,000 psi).
(d) The tensile strength (the maximum on the curve) is approximately 515 MPa (74,700 psi).

6.44 The following true stresses produce the corresponding true plastic strains for a brass alloy:

True Stress (psi)

True Strain

50,000

0.10

60,000

0.20

What true stress is necessary to produce a true plastic strain of 0.25?


Solution
For this problem, we are given two values of T and T, from which we are asked to calculate the true stress
which produces a true plastic strain of 0.25. Employing Equation 6.19, we may set up two simultaneous equations
with two unknowns (the unknowns being K and n), as

log (50, 000 psi) = log K + n log (0.10)

log (60, 000 psi) = log K + n log (0.20)

Solving for n from these two expressions yields

n=

log (50,000) log (60,000)


= 0.263
log (0.10) log (0.20)

and for K
log K = 4.96 or K = 104.96 = 91,623 psi
Thus, for T = 0.25

T = K (T ) n = (91, 623 psi)(0.25) 0.263 = 63,700 psi

(440 MPa)

DESIGN PROBLEMS

6.D1 A large tower is to be supported by a series of steel wires. It is estimated that the load on each wire
will be 11,100 N (2500 lb f ). Determine the minimum required wire diameter assuming a factor of safety of 2 and a
yield strength of 1030 MPa (150,000 psi).
Solution
For this problem the working stress is computed using Equation 6.24 with N = 2, as

w =

y

1030 MPa
= 515 MPa (75, 000 psi )

Since the force is given, the area may be determined from Equation 6.1, and subsequently the original diameter d0
may be calculated as

A0 =
