Answer 1

Hello the needed data given is not properly arranged attached below is the properly arranged data

Answer:

b) 62.5 * 10^3 MPa

c) ≈ 285 MPa

d) 370Mpa

e) 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

cylindrical aluminum diameter = 12.8 mm

Gauge length = 50.8 mm

A) plot of engineering stress vs engineering strain

attached below

B ) calculate Modulus of elasticity

Modulus of elasticity = Δб / Δ ε

= ( 200 - 0 ) / (0.0032 - 0 ) = 62.5 * 10^3 MPa

C) Determine the yield strength

at strain offset = 0.002

hence yield strength ≈ 285 MPa

D) Determine tensile strength of the alloy

The tensile strength can be approximated at 370Mpa because that is where it corresponds to the maximum stress on the stress vs strain ( complete plot )

E) Determine approximate ductility in percent elongation

ductility in percent elongation = plastic strain at fracture * 100

total strain = 0.165 , plastic strain = 0.16

therefore Ductility in percent elongation = 0.16 * 100 = 16%
