Determine the stress in each section of the bar shown bellow when subjected to an
axial tensile load of 20 kN. The central section is 30 mm square cross-section; the
other portions are of circular section, their diameters being indicated. What will be the
total extension of the bar? For the bar material E = 210GN/m2.
5. A bar of 12 mm diameter is tested on UTM and the following observations are noted. Guage length
=200mm, load at proportional limit= 20KN, change in length at the proportional limit= 0.2mm, change
in length at the proportional limit =0.0025mm, calculate the values of
A. poissons ratio
B. Youngs modulus
6. The rod is 200 mm long and 15 mm in diameter. If an axial load of 300N is applied to it, determine
the change in length and the change in its diameter. The materials young's modulus and poisson’s ratio
are 2.7 Gpa and 0.4 respectively.
