Question

A steel alloy specimen having a rectangular cross section of dimensions 18.1 mm x 3.2 mm (0.7126 in. x0.1260 in.) has the stress-strain behavior shown in the Animated Figure 6.22b. If this specimen is subjected to a tensile force of 96150 N (21620 lb) then (a) Determine the amount of elastic strain induced. (h) Determine the amount of plastic strain induced. (c) If its original length is 500 mm, what will be its final length after this force is applied and then released?The elastic modulus for steel is 207 GPa.
