4. (3 Points) In tension tests, why are samples shaped into “Dog Bone” morphologies?
So that the deformation is limited just at the central narrow region and therefore reduce the
likelihood of any fracture at the ends of the sample
5. a.) (10 Points) If you have a cylindrical sample for tension testing, with a “Reduced Section”
(section uniformly reduced in length direction of the sample) 10mm long, and a “Reduced
Diameter” (section uniformly reduced in width direction) 3.2mm in diameter, with an applied
tensile load of 5,000N, calculate the Engineering Stress (σ, in MPa) experienced by the
sample.
(Hint: Use “Tension” problem from examples provided on Supplemental document)

5.0mm, with an applied compressive load of 7,800N, calculate the Engineering Stress (σ)

7. a.) (10 Points) Using Hooke’s Law, and Table 6.1 (GPa value), determine the Engineering
Strain (ϵ) experienced by a sample of Tungsten (W), under a tensile stress of 490 MPa.
(Hint: GPa = 109 N/m2)
σ = Eϵ
using the given values in question and Table 6.1
b.) (10 Points) If you were informed that this tensile stress was applied in the z-direction,
use Table 6.1, and Poisson’s ration (v) to determine the resulting strain in the x-direction
(ϵx).
(Hint: Use the resultant Engineering Strain in the z-direction (ϵz) which you determined
in Part (a))

Therefore,

8. a.) (16 Points) For the Stress-Strain Curve provided, identify and define points a, b, c, and d.
b.) (8 Points) Using point (a), which is located at a strain of 0.025, and a stress of 300
MPa, determine the Modulus of Elasticity for this material, in GPa.
(Hint: MPa = 106 N/m2, GPa = 109 N/m2)
Modulus of Elasticity for this material will be the slope of the line. As we know one point
is (a) (0.025, 300) and the other is origin O (0, 0). We get slope as
𝑦2 − 𝑦1 300 − 0 300

c.) (8 Points) Using the yield strength at the 0.002 strain off-set (which you can assume
to be 350 MPa), and the Modulus of Elasticity determined in part (b), determine the
Modulus of Resilience (Ur) for this material. (Hint: Ur is simply reported as MPa)
