Assignment 2 - Mechanical Properties of Materials PDF

This document outlines an assignment on mechanical properties of materials. It includes 5 questions asking students to: 1) Analyze stress-strain diagrams to determine properties like Young's modulus, yield strength, toughness, and material type. 2) Sketch and describe an aluminum alloy stress-strain curve. 3) Perform calculations using data from a tensile test to determine properties like yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation. 4) Calculate Brinell hardness numbers from indentation diameters and use them to determine ultimate tensile strength for two aluminum alloys. 5) Determine which materials from a table could be used for a tensile load without plastic deformation or excessive elongation.

Assignment 2
Mechanical Properties of Materials

Due Date: Tuesday, 24 September 2019


1. For the following engineering stress-strain
diagrams find the following:
a. The Young’s Modulus
b. The tensile strength
c. The yield strength (0.2% offset)
d. If the load is released at 21 MPa, what
will be the elastic and plastic strain
e. The toughness of material
f. The resilience of the material
g. The ductility of the material
h. Estimate the type of the material,
explain your answer
2. Sketch (by hand) the engineering stress-strain curves for a typical aluminum alloy.
Show and describe the limit points on the graph. Indicate the regions of linear elastic
behavior, yielding, strain hardening, and necking.
3. A tensile test specimen has a gage length = 50 mm and its cross - sectional area = 100
mm2. The specimen yields at 48,000 N, and the corresponding gage length = 50.23
mm. This is the 0.2 % yield point. The maximum load of 87,000 N is reached at a gage
length = 64.2 mm. Determine a) Yield strength, b) Modulus of elasticity, c) Tensile
strength, d) If fracture occurs at a gage length = 67.3 mm, determine the percent
elongation, e) If the specimen necked to an area = 53 mm2, determine the percent
reduction in area.
4. The hardness properties of two different aluminum alloys (Alloy-1 and Alloy-2) were
investigated by performing Brinell hardness test. The diameters of the impressions of
the hardened steel ball indenter on the surface of the specimens were measured as
4.975 mm for Alloy-1 and 5.675 mm for Alloy-2. Calculate the Brinell Hardness
Number (BHN) for both alloys and indicate which one is harder. Based on the Brinell
Hardness Number, calculate the ultimate tensile strength for both alloys.
5. A cylindrical rod with a length of 450 mm and a diameter of 14 mm is to be
subjected to a tensile load. The rod must not experience plastic deformation or an
increase in length of more than 1.2 mm when a load of 40 kN is applied. Which of
the four materials listed in the accompanying table are possible candidates?
Justify your answer. Assume linear elastic behavior below yield point.

Material Elastic Modulus Yield Strength Tensile Strength


(GPa) (MPa) (MPa)
Copper 110 248 289
Aluminum Alloy 70 255 420
Steel 207 448 551
Brass Alloy 101 345 420
