Question: A bar with a rectangular cross section that has a width of 2 4 . 5 mm , a thickness of 6 . 1 mm

A bar with a rectangular cross section that has a width of 24.5 mm , a thickness of 6.1 mm and a gauge length of 75 mm was tested in tension to fracture. Use the load-elongation characteristics shown in the following table to complete parts (a) through (k).
(a) Plot the data as engineering stress versus engineering strain.
(b) Compute the modulus of elasticity (by using best fit approach and show on the enlarged initial portion of the diagram).
(c) Determine the yield strength at a strain offset of 0.002(show on the enlarged diagram).
(d) Determine the tensile strength (ultimate strength) of this material.
(e) What is the approximate ductility, in percent elongation (show on the diagram)?
(f) Compute the modulus of resilience (explain how it is found).
(g) Compute toughness (Use numerical analysis method and give the calculations)
(h) Five tensile tests were carried out on the specimens cut from this material and the following ultimate forces were obtained:
58.6-59.1-60.2-61.7-63.0 kN
Find the average ultimate strength and its standard deviation and coefficient of variation.
(i) Make a guess about the type of this material (Mention how this prediction is made). Mention the fields of usage of this material in constructions (mention at least one reference).
(j) If the material is loaded up to 59 kN and then unloaded, find the modulus, yield strength, ultimate strength and ductility of the material for the subsequent loading. Draw its stress-strain diagram.
(k) Draw the true stress-strain curve on the same page with the engineering stress-strain curve. NOTE: Excel program can be used.
