Numerical Problems
6.3. A specimen of aluminum having a rectangular cross section 10 mm * 12.7 mm (0.4 in. *0.5 in.) is pulled
in tension with 35,500 N (8000 lbf) force, producing only elastic deformation. Calculate the resulting strain.
6.4 A cylindrical specimen of a titanium alloy having an elastic modulus of 107 GPa (15.5 * 10^6 psi) and an
original diameter of 3.8 mm (0.15 in.) will experience only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 2000 N
(450 lbf) is applied. Compute the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum
allowable elongation is 0.42 mm (0.0165 in.).
6.5 A steel bar 100 mm (4.0 in.) long and having a square cross section 20 mm (0.8 in.) on an edge is pulled in
tension with a load of 89,000 N (20,000 lbf) and experiences an elongation of 0.10 mm (4.0 *10^-3 in.).
Assuming that the deformation is entirely elastic, calculate the elastic modulus of the steel.
6.6 Consider a cylindrical titanium wire 3.0 mm (0.12 in.) in diameter and 2.5 * 10^4 mm (1000 in.) long.
Calculate its elongation when load of 500 N (112 lbf) is applied. Assume that the deformation is totally elastic.
6.7 For a bronze alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 275 MPa (40,000 psi), and the modulus
of elasticity is 115 GPa (16.7 * 10^6 psi). (a) What is the maximum load that may be applied to a specimen
with a cross-sectional area of 325 mm2 (0.5 in.2) without plastic deformation? (b) If the original specimen
length is 115 mm (4.5 in.), what is the maximum length to which it may be stretched without causing plastic
deformation?
6.8 A cylindrical rod of copper (E = 110 GPa, 16 * 10^6 psi) having a yield strength of 240 MPa (35,000 psi)
is to be subjected to a load of 6660 N (1500 lbf). If the length of the rod is 380 mm (15.0 in.), what must be the
diameter to allow an elongation of 0.50 mm (0.020 in.)?
6.9 Consider a cylindrical specimen of a steel alloy 8.5 mm (0.33 in.) in diameter and 80 mm (3.15 in.) long
that is pulled in tension. Determine its elongation when a load of 65,250 N (14,500 lb) is applied.
6.10 Consider a cylindrical specimen of a steel alloy (Figure 6.21) 10.0 mm (0.39 in.) in diameter and 75 mm
(3.0 in.) long that is pulled in tension. Determine its elongation when a load of 20,000 N (4,500 lbf) is applied.
Examples
6.1 A piece of copper originally 305 mm (12 in.) long is pulled in tension with a stress of 276 MPa (40,000
psi). If the deformation is entirely elastic, what will be the resultant elongation?
6.2 A tensile stress is to be applied along the long axis of a cylindrical brass rod that has a diameter of 10 mm
(0.4 in.). Determine the magnitude of the load required to produce a 2.5 * 10^3 mm (10^4 in.) change in
diameter if the deformation is entirely elastic.
6.3 From the tensile stress–strain behavior for the brass specimen shown in Figure 6.12, determine the
following:
(a). The modulus of elasticity.
(b). The yield strength at a strain offset of 0.002.
(c). The maximum load that can be sustained by a cylindrical specimen having an original diameter of 12.8
mm (0.505 in.).

(d). The change in length of a specimen originally 250 mm (10 in.) long that is subjected to a tensile stress of
345 MPa (50,000 psi).
6.4 A cylindrical specimen of steel having an original diameter of 12.8 mm (0.505 in.) is tensile-tested to
fracture and found to have an engineering fracture strength of 460 MPa (67,000 psi). If its cross-sectional
diameter at fracture is 10.7 mm (0.422 in.), determine:
(a). The ductility in terms of percent reduction in area.
(b). The true stress at fracture.
6.5 Compute the strain-hardening exponent n in Equation 6.19 for an alloy in which a true stress of 415 MPa
(60,000 psi) produces a true strain of 0.10; assume a value of 1035 MPa (150,000 psi) for K.
6.6 The following tensile strengths were measured for four specimens of the same steel alloy:
1 520
2 512
3 515
