a. Static load application and

b. Dynamic load application

E.2 A material has the stress–strain behavior shown in Figure below. What is the
material strength at rupture?
E.3 A tensile load of 50,000 lb is applied to a metal bar with a cross section (0.6 in X
0.6) in and a gage length of 2 in. Under this load the bar elastically deforms so that the
gage length increases to 2.007 in. and the cross section decreases to (0.599 in X 0.599)
in.
Determine the modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio for this metal.

E.4A tensile load of 190 kN is applied to a round metal bar with a diameter of 16 mm
and a gage length of 50 mm. Under this load the bar elastically deforms so that the gage
length increases to 50.1349 mm and the diameter decreases to 15.99 mm.
Determine the modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio for this metal.
E.5 A cylinder with a 6.0 in, diameter and 12.0 in, length is put under a compressive
load of 150 kips. The modulus of elasticity for this specimen is 8,000 ksi and Poisson’s
ratio is 0.35.
Calculate the final length and the final diameter of this specimen under this load
assuming that the material remains within the linear elastic region.
