Problem Set 2
• A cylindrical specimen of aluminum
having a diameter of 0.505 in. (12.8 mm)
and a gauge length of 2.000 in. (50.800
mm) is pulled in tension. Use the load–
elongation characteristics tabulated on
the right-hand side to complete parts (a)
through (f).
• (a) Plot the data as engineering stress
versus engineering strain.
• (b) Compute the modulus of elasticity.
• (c) Determine the yield strength at a strain
offset of 0.002.
• (d) Determine the tensile strength of this
alloy.
• (e) What is the approximate ductility, in
percent elongation?
• (f) Compute the modulus of resilience.

Problem Set 3
• Consider a thin-walled cylindrical tube having a radius of 65 mm that is to be
used to transport pressurized gas. If inside and outside tube pressures are 100
and 1.0 atm (10.13 and 0.1013 MPa), respectively, compute the minimum
required thickness for each of the following metal alloys. Assume a factor of
safety of 3.5.
Note that for a thin-walled cylinder, the circumferential stress (𝜎) depends on
pressure difference (ΔP), cylinder radius (r), and tube wall thickness (t) as follows:

Problem Set 6
• A specimen of steel has a rectangular cross section 20 mm wide and
40 mm thick, an elastic modulus of 207 GPa, and a Poisson’s ratio of
0.30. If this specimen is pulled in tension with a force of 60,000 N,

• (C) Increase in width of 7.24 10−6 m
• (D) Decrease in width of 2.18 10−6 m
