ESO205A: Nature and Properties of Materials

2022-2023 Semester I
Assignment #11
(due date: October 26)
1. A 120 mm long cylindrical rod having a diameter of 15 mm is deformed by subjecting it to a
tensile load of 35000N. The rod must not experience a plastic deformation or diameter
reduction of more than 0.012 mm. Of the materials listed below (Table I), which are the
possible candidates? Justify your choice(s).
Table I.

Materials Elastic modulus, GPa Yield strength, MPa Poisson’s ratio


Aluminium 70 250 0.33
Titanium 105 850 0.36
Steel 205 550 0.27
Magnesium 45 170 0.29

2. A cylindrical specimen of stainless steel having a diameter of 12.8 mm and a guage length of
50.8 mm is pulled in tension. Using the load-elongation data presented in Table II below,
answer the following:
Table II.

25400 50.851 128300 51.816
38100 50.876 149700 52.832
50800 50.902 159000 53.848
76200 50.952 160400 54.356
89100 51.003 159500 54.864
92700 51.054 151500 55.880
102500 51.181 124700 56.642
107800 51.308 Fracture

(a) Plot the tensile curve (engineering stress versus engineering strain)
(b) Compute the modulus of elasticity.
(c) Determine yield strength at a strain offset of 0.002.
(d) Determine the tensile strength of the given stainless steel.
(e) What is the approximate ductility, in % elongation.
(f) Calculate the modulus of resilience
(g) Assuming a factor of safely of 2, determine the appropriate working stress for this material.

3. The critical resolved shear stress to cause slip in silver is 50 MPa. If a sample made from its
single crystal is loaded along [001], calculate the stress required to cause its yielding. Write
down all the active slip systems that contribute to yielding.
4. (i) Derive formulae that express true stress () and true strain () in term of engineering stress
(s) and engineering strain (e). (ii) Show that the strain hardening exponent (n) is equal to the
true strain at maximum load (u).
5. Compare the total surface area when a particle of 100 nm radius is divided into 10,000 spherical
nanoparticles. Assuming Ag particle (crystal structure: fcc ; lattice parameter: 4.1 Å), how many unit
cells would be present in a single nanoparticle?

6. Melting temperature of bulk Ag is 961°C. Estimate melting point of Ag when it is powder form
having radius of (i) 1 µm and (ii) 5 nm. [Heat of fusion for Ag at M.P. is 12.0 kJ/mole; Solid-
liquid interface energy for silver is 0.168 J/m 2] Also, please note a correction in Slide #7 of Handout #14,
d is the diameter of particle and not the radius (This equation is to be used in Q.6).

7. Grains of solid solution AB are nucleating inside a matrix. How does the composition of grain
changes (in mole fraction of B) with increasing radius of the grain. [Assume complete solid
solubility in the grain]
