4.Question 4
A bar of 4340 steel has an Sy = 50 ksi. Which of these statements is true:
If a normal stress of 40 ksi is applied to the bar, it will undergo plastic deformation.

5.Question 5
You are designing a rod with a fixed geometry with a 1 inch diameter and a 20 inch length.
The current design is made of 2014 T6 aluminum, with an E = 10.5 Mpsi and a Sy = 54 ksi.
Your analysis shows that the rod’s deflection is too high. To fix this you should:

6.Question 6
You are designing a 4340 steel shaft that is going to be press fit into an 2014 T6 aluminum
housing. The 4340 steel rod has the following properties: E =29 Mpsi, Sy =75 ksi, and the
coefficient of thermal expansion (alpha) = 10.8 x 10-6 K^(-1). The 2014 T6 aluminum housing
has the following properties: E =10.5 Mpsi, Sy =54 ksi, and the coefficient of thermal
expansion (alpha) =23.1 x 10-6 K^(-1). The operating temperatures range from -30F to 400F.
Which of the following statements are true? (Note: more than one statement could be true)
There is a mismatch between the coefficients of thermal expansion between the steel and aluminum,
which could lead to problems in the press fit at cold and high temperatures.
The yield strength of the aluminum is less than that of steel, which means the aluminum will behave
in a more rigid manner than the steel.
The elastic modulus of steel is greater than that of aluminum, meaning that the aluminum will
behave in a brittle manner while the steel will behave in a ductile manner.

Select all of the following statements that are true about creep: (Note: more than one
statement could be true).
Creep is typically a concern for metals under load for long periods of time at elevated temperatures.
