Tutorial 2 Question

The document is a tutorial for Mechanics of Materials focusing on mechanical properties and materials testing. It includes problems related to strain hardening of cylindrical specimens, engineering stress in carbon nanotubes, tensile elongation, and the evaluation of a nickel wire's deformation under load. Additionally, it requires calculations for the modulus of elasticity for a magnesium bar and analysis of stress-strain curves for different materials.

Tutorial 2 (Mechanical Properties and Materials Testing)
1.​ Two previously undeformed cylindrical specimens A and B of an alloy are to be strained
hardened by reducing their cross-sectional areas. For specimen A, the initial and deformed
radius are 20mm and 14mm respectively. Specimen B, with an initial radius of 15mm, must
have the same deformation ratio as specimen A. Compute the radius of specimen B after
deformation.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ [2]

2.​ A) Carbon nanotubes are one of the stiffest and strongest materials known to scientists and
12
engineers. Carbon nanotubes have an elastic modulus of 1.1 TPa (1 Tpa = 1×10 Pa). If a
−9
carbon nanotube has a diameter of 15 nm (1nm = 1×10 m), determine the engineering
−6
stress sustained by the nanotube when subjected to a tensile load of 4 µN (1 µN = 1×10
N) along the length of the tube. Assume that the entire cross-sectional area of the nanotube
is load bearing.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ [2]
2.​ B) Assume that the carbon nanotube is only deformed elastically (not plastically) under the
−6
load of 4 µN (1 µN = 1×10 N). The carbon nanotube has a length of 10 µm (1 µm =
−6
1×10 m). What is the tensile elongation (displacement) of the carbon nanotube in
−9
nanometres (1 nm = 1×10 m)?​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ [2]

3.​ A 3780N force is applied to a 0.375cm diameter nickel wire having yield strength of 310 MPa
and a tensile strength of 379 MPa. Determine​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ [3]
a.​ Whether the wire will plastically deform?
b.​ Whether the wire will experience necking?
4.​ A force of 20,000 N will cause a 1 cm × 1 cm bar of magnesium to stretch from 10 cm to
10.045 cm. Calculate the modulus of elasticity.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
​ [2]

5.​ From the stress strain curves for three different materials in the figure below, describe the
material properties for the following materials A, B and C? Give an example for each of the
material.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ [4]
