Mechanics of Materials
Tutorial 1 (Mechanical Properties and Materials Testing)
1.​ State the five common mechanical properties of the material.​ ​ ​ ​ [1]

2.​ A specimen of aluminium having a rectangular cross section 10mm x 12.7mm is pulled in
tension with 5.5kN force producing only elastic deformation. Calculate the resulting strain.
Assume Young’s Modulus of aluminium, E = 69 GPa.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ [2]

3.​ A steel bar 100mm long and giving a square cross section 20mm on an edge is pulled in
tension with a load of 89kN and experiences an elongation of 0.1mm. Assume that the
deformation is entirely elastic, calculate the Young’s Modulus of the steel.​ ​
​ ​ [2]
4.​ A cylindrical rod of copper (E = 110GPa) having a yield strength of 140MPa is to be subjected
to a load of 6660N. If the length of the rod is 380mm, what must be the diameter to allow
the elongation of 0.5mm?​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

5.​ Explain the differences between elastic and plastic deformation behaviours.​ ​ [6]
6.​ A cylindrical specimen of aluminium having a diameter of 12.8mm and a gauge length of
50.8mm is pulled in tension. Use the load elongation tabulated below to complete the
following:​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ [10]
