Semester May 2021

Q1. A specimen of aluminum having a rectangular cross section 12 mm × 12.9 mm is pulled in


tension with 35,600 N force, producing only elastic deformation. Calculate the resulting strain.

Q2. A cylindrical specimen of a titanium alloy having an elastic modulus of 108 GPa and an original
diameter of 3.9 mm will experience only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 2000 N is
applied. Compute the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum
allowable elongation is 0.42 mm

Q3. A cylindrical rod of copper (E = 110 GPa) having a yield strength of 240 MPa is to be subjected
to a load of 6660 N. If the length of the rod is 380 mm, what must be the diameter to allow an
elongation of 0.50 mm?

Q4. A cylindrical specimen of some alloy 8 mm in diameter is stressed elastically in tension. A


force of 15,700 N produces a reduction in specimen diameter of 5 x 10-3 mm. Compute Poisson's
ratio for this material if its modulus of elasticity is 140 GPa.

Q5. A cylindrical specimen of a hypothetical metal alloy is stressed in compression. If its original
and final diameters are 20.000 and 20.025 mm, respectively, and its final length is 74.96 mm,
compute its original length if the deformation is totally elastic. The elastic and shear moduli for
this alloy are 105 GPa and 39.7 GPa, respectively.

Q6. A cylindrical metal specimen having an original diameter of 12.9 mm and gauge length of
50.90 mm is pulled in tension until fracture occurs. The diameter at the point of fracture is
6.70 mm, and the fractured gauge length is 72.14 mm. Calculate the ductility in terms of percent
reduction in area and percent elongation.
Q7.
a) Compute the electrical conductivity of a 5.0-mm diameter cylindrical silicon specimen 50
mm long in which a current of 0.1 A passes in an axial direction. A voltage of 12.5 V is
measured across two probes that are separated by 38 mm.
b) Compute the resistance over the entire 50 mm of the specimen.

Q8. A copper wire 100 m long must experience a voltage drop of less than 1.5 V when a current
of 2.5 A passes through it. Compute the minimum diameter of the wire.

Q9. A 0.1 m rod of a metal elongates 0.2 mm on heating from 20 to 100°C (293K to 373 K).
Determine the value of the linear coefficient of thermal expansion for this material.

Q10.
a) If a rod of 1025 steel 0.5 m long is heated from 20 to 80°C (293 to 353 K) while its ends
are maintained rigid, determine the type and magnitude of stress that develops. Assume
that at 20°C the rod is stress free.
b) What will be the stress magnitude if a rod 1 m long is used?
c) If the rod in part (a) is cooled from 20 to −10°C (293 K to 263 K), what type and magnitude
of stress will result?
