TOPIC 3: SIMPLE STAIN AND DEFORMATION
SAMPLE PROBLEM: (Simple Strain and Deformation)

#1. The following data were recorded during

tensile test of a 14-mm diameter mild steel
rod. The gage length was 50 mm.
Plot the stress-strain diagram and
determine the following mechanical
properties:

a) Proportional limits
b) Modulus of elasticity
c) Yield point
d) Ultimate strength
e) Rupture strength

SAMPLE PROBLEM: (Simple Strain and Deformation)

#2. The rigid bar AB, attached to two vertical

rods as shown in Fig. P-213, is horizontal
before the load P is applied. Determine
the vertical movement of P if its
magnitude is 50kN.

Answer: δB= 1.87 mm
