Tensile Questions 2

The following data were collected from a standard 12.5 mm diameter test specimen of
magnesium:

Load Gauge Length


(kN) (mm)
0 0
5 50,045
10 50,090
15 50,135
20 50,175
22 50,195
23,9 50,350
26,4 51,250
27,2 53,250
26,4 56,375

After fracture the gauge length is 56.125 mm and the diameter is 11.54 mm.
Plot the data and calculate
(a) the 0.2% proof stress,
(b) the tensile strength,
(c) the modulus of elasticity,
(d) the % elongation,
(e) the % reduction in area,
(f) the engineering stress at fracture.
