Tutorial 4_Part I – Strength of Materials 11 Sep 2024

1. A 4000 N force is applied to a 4 mm diameter nickel wire having a yield strength of 300
MPa and tensile strength of 380 MPa.

Determine:
i) Whether the wire will plastically deform, and
ii) Whether the wire will experience necking.

2. A force of 20 000 N will cause a10 mm x 10 mm bar of magnesium to stretch from 10


cm to 10.045 cm. Calculate the modulus of elasticity.

3. A steel cable 31 mm in diameter and 15.25 m long is to lift a 0.2 MN load. What is the
length of the cable during lifting? The modulus of elasticity of the steel is 210 GPa.

4. The following data were collected from a 12 mm diameter test specimen of magnesium:
σ=F/((π⁄4) (12 mm)2 )=F⁄113.1
ϵ=((lf-30))⁄30

Load Gage Length (mm) Stress (MPa) Strain (mm/mm)

5 000 30.0296 44.2 0.000987
10 000 30.0592 88.4 0.001973
15 000 30.0888 132.6 0.00296
20 000 30.15 176.8 0.005
25 000 30.51 221.0 0.017
26 500 30.90 234.3 0.030
27 000 31.50 (max load) 238.7 0.050
26 500 32.10 234.3 0.070
25 000 32.79 (fracture) 221.0 0.093

After fracture, the gage length is 32.61 and the diameter is 11.74 mm. Plot the data and
calculate;
i. The 0.2 % offset yield strength,
ii. The tensile strength,
iii. The modulus of elasticity,
iv. The % elongation,
v. The % reduction in area,
vi. The engineering stress at fracture,
vii.The true stress at fracture, and
viii. The modulus of resilience.
