Assignment 4

1. A cylindrical steel specimen with an original diameter of 12.8 mm is tensile tested


to fracture and found to have an engineering fracture strength of 460 MPa. If its
cross-sectional diameter at fracture is 10.7 mm, determine the true stress at
fracture.

2. A tensile stress is to be applied along the long axis of a cylindrical brass rod that has
a diameter of 10 mm. Determine the magnitude of the load required to produce a
2.5 m change in diameter if the deformation is entirely elastic. Poisson’s ratio for
brass is 0.34, and Young’s modulus is 97 GPa.

3. For a bronze alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 275 MPa, and
the modulus of elasticity is 115 GPa. (a) What maximum load may be applied to a
specimen with a cross-sectional area of 325 mm2 without plastic deformation? (b)
If the original specimen length is 115 mm, what is the maximum length it may be
stretched without causing plastic deformation?

4. A cylindrical rod of copper (Young’s modulus of 110 GPa) with a yield strength of
240 MPa will 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?

5. Consider the (111) slip plane and [01̅1] slip direction for a single crystal of copper.
A tensile stress of 20 MPa is applied to this crystal along the [001] direction. What
is the resolved shear stress along the slip direction?

6. Consider a metal single crystal oriented such that the normal to the slip plane and
the slip direction are at angles of 43.18 and 47.98, respectively, with the tensile axis.
If the critical resolved shear stress is 20.7 MPa, will an applied stress of 45 MPa
cause the single crystal to yield? If not, what stress will be necessary?

7. A single crystal of aluminum is oriented for a tensile test such that its slip plane
normal makes an angle of 28.18 with the tensile axis. Three possible slip directions
make angles 62.48, 72.08, and 81.18 with the same tensile axis. (a) Which of
these three slip directions is most favored? (b) If plastic deformation begins at a
tensile stress of 1.95 MPa, determine aluminum's critical resolved shear stress.
8. A single crystal of metal with the BCC crystal structure is oriented such that tensile
stress is applied in the [010] direction. If the magnitude of this stress is 2.75 MPa,
compute the resolved shear stress in the [1̅11] direction on each of the (110) and
(101) planes. (b) based on these resolved shear stress values, which slip system(s)
is (are) most favorably oriented?

9. A mild steel sample has a grain size of ASTM 7. Estimate its yield strength. (σ0 = 70
MPa, k = 0.74 MPa √m)

10. When the grain diameter of a polycrystalline material is changed from 0.04 mm to
0.01 mm, the yield strength increases from 120 MPa to 220 MPa. Calculate,

a. the yield strength if its grain diameter is 0.0159 mm,


b. The grain size diameter for the yield strength of 200 MPa.
