Questions
increases. Is this phenomenon true for both tensile and compressive strains? Explain.
2.1 Can you calculate the percent elongation of materials based only on the information given in
Fig. 2.6? Explain.
The difference between the engineering and true

strains becomes larger because of the way the
strains are defined, respectively, as can be seen
by inspecting Eqs. (2.1) on p. 30 and (2.9) on
p. 35. This is true for both tensile and compressive strains.
Recall that the percent elongation is defined by

Eq. (2.6) on p. 33 and depends on the original
gage length (lo ) of the specimen. From Fig. 2.6
on p. 37 only the necking strain (true and engineering) and true fracture strain can be determined. Thus, we cannot calculate the percent
elongation of the specimen; also, note that the
elongation is a function of gage length and increases with gage length.
2.4 Using the same scale for stress, we note that the
tensile true-stress-true-strain curve is higher
than the engineering stress-strain curve. Explain whether this condition also holds for a
compression test.
2.2 Explain if it is possible for the curves in Fig. 2.4

to reach 0% elongation as the gage length is increased further.
During a compression test, the cross-sectional

area of the specimen increases as the specimen
height decreases (because of volume constancy)
as the load is increased. Since true stress is defined as ratio of the load to the instantaneous
cross-sectional area of the specimen, the true
stress in compression will be lower than the engineering stress for a given load, assuming that
friction between the platens and the specimen
is negligible.
The percent elongation of the specimen is a

function of the initial and final gage lengths.
When the specimen is being pulled, regardless
of the original gage length, it will elongate uniformly (and permanently) until necking begins.
Therefore, the specimen will always have a certain finite elongation. However, note that as the
specimens gage length is increased, the contribution of localized elongation (that is, necking)
will decrease, but the total elongation will not
approach zero.
2.5 Which of the two tests, tension or compression,

requires a higher capacity testing machine than
the other? Explain.
2.3 Explain why the difference between engineering

strain and true strain becomes larger as strain
The compression test requires a higher capacity

machine because the cross-sectional area of the
1
specimen increases during the test, which is the

opposite of a tension test. The increase in area
requires a load higher than that for the tension test to achieve the same stress level. Furthermore, note that compression-test specimens
generally have a larger original cross-sectional
area than those for tension tests, thus requiring
higher forces.
stress-true strain curve represents the specific

work done at the necked (and fractured) region
in the specimen where the strain is a maximum.
Thus, the answers will be different. However,
up to the onset of necking (instability), the specific work calculated will be the same. This is
because the strain is uniform throughout the
specimen until necking begins.
2.10 The note at the bottom of Table 2.5 states that
as temperature increases, C decreases and m
increases. Explain why.
2.6 Explain how the modulus of resilience of a material changes, if at all, as it is strained: (1) for
an elastic, perfectly plastic material, and (2) for
an elastic, linearly strain-hardening material.
The value of C in Table 2.5 on p. 43 decreases

with temperature because it is a measure of the
strength of the material. The value of m increases with temperature because the material
becomes more strain-rate sensitive, due to the
fact that the higher the strain rate, the less time
the material has to recover and recrystallize,
hence its strength increases.
2.7 If you pull and break a tension-test specimen

rapidly, where would the temperature be the
highest? Explain why.
Since temperature rise is due to the work input,

the temperature will be highest in the necked
region because that is where the strain, hence

specimen in Question 2.7 is pulled very slowly.
Although the K and n values may give a good
estimate of toughness, the true fracture stress
and the true strain at fracture are required for
accurate calculation of toughness. The modulus of elasticity and yield stress would provide
information about the area under the elastic region; however, this region is very small and is
thus usually negligible with respect to the rest
of the stress-strain curve.
If the specimen is pulled very slowly, the temperature generated will be dissipated throughout the specimen and to the environment.
Thus, there will be no appreciable temperature
rise anywhere, particularly with materials with
high thermal conductivity.
2.9 In a tension test, the area under the true-stresstrue-strain curve is the work done per unit volume (the specific work). We also know that

ness test? Explain.
The effect of friction has been found to be minimal. In a hardness test, most of the indentation
occurs through plastic deformation, and there
is very little sliding at the indenter-workpiece
interface; see Fig. 2.25 on p. 55.
Since the internal forces will have to achieve a

state of static equilibrium, the new part has to
bow downward (i.e., it will hold water). Such

springs. Note that the top layer of the material ad in Fig. 2.30d on p. 60, which is under
compression, has the tendency to bend the bar
upward. When this stress is relieved (such as
by removing a layer), the bar will compensate
for it by bending downward.
(d) Fish hook: A fish hook needs to have high

strength so that it doesnt deform permanently under load, and thus maintain its
shape. It should be stiff (for better control during its use) and should be resistant
the environment it is used in (such as salt
water).
(e) Automotive piston: This product must
have high strength at elevated temperatures, high physical and thermal shock resistance, and low mass.
(f) Boat propeller: The material must be
stiff (to maintain its shape) and resistant
to corrosion, and also have abrasion resistance because the propeller encounters
sand and other abrasive particles when operated close to shore.
(g) Gas turbine blade: A gas turbine blade operates at high temperatures (depending on
its location in the turbine); thus it should
have high-temperature strength and resistance to creep, as well as to oxidation and
corrosion due to combustion products during its use.
(h) Staple: The properties should be closely
parallel to that of a paper clip. The staple
should have high ductility to allow it to be
deformed without fracture, and also have
low yield stress so that it can be bent (as
well as unbent when removing it) easily
without requiring excessive force.
2.26 Is it possible to completely remove residual

stresses in a piece of material by the technique
described in Fig. 2.32 if the material is elastic,
linearly strain hardening? Explain.
By following the sequence of events depicted
in Fig. 2.32 on p. 61, it can be seen that it is
not possible to completely remove the residual
stresses. Note that for an elastic, linearly strain
hardening material, c0 will never catch up with
t0 .
2.27 Referring to Fig. 2.32, would it be possible to
eliminate residual stresses by compression instead of tension? Assume that the piece of material will not buckle under the uniaxial compressive force.
Yes, by the same mechanism described in
Fig. 2.32 on p. 61.
2.28 List and explain the desirable mechanical properties for the following: (1) elevator cable, (2)
bandage, (3) shoe sole, (4) fish hook, (5) automotive piston, (6) boat propeller, (7) gasturbine blade, and (8) staple.
The following are some basic considerations:
2.29 Make a sketch showing the nature and distribution of the residual stresses in Figs. 2.31a and b
before the parts were split (cut). Assume that
the split parts are free from any stresses. (Hint:
Force these parts back to the shape they were
in before they were cut.)
(a) Elevator cable: The cable should not elongate elastically to a large extent or undergo yielding as the load is increased.
These requirements thus call for a material with a high elastic modulus and yield
stress.
As the question states, when we force back the

split portions in the specimen in Fig. 2.31a
on p. 60, we induce tensile stresses on the
outer surfaces and compressive on the inner.
Thus the original part would, along its total
cross section, have a residual stress distribution of tension-compression-tension. Using the
same technique, we find that the specimen in
Fig. 2.31b would have a similar residual stress
distribution prior to cutting.
(b) Bandage: The bandage material must be

compliant, that is, have a low stiffness, but
have high strength in the membrane direction. Its inner surface must be permeable
and outer surface resistant to environmental effects.

(b) A thin, solid round disk (such as a coin)

of the same diameter as that of the disk.

the disk will tend to shrink radially. But
because it is thin and its flat surfaces are
restrained by the two rods from moving,
the disk will be subjected to tensile radial
stresses. Thus, a state of triaxial (though
not exactly hydrostatic) tension will exist
within the thin disk.
If we calculate the heat using a constant specific

heat value in Eq. (2.65) on p. 73, the work will
be higher than it actually is. This is because,
by definition, as the specific heat decreases, less

Kevlar fibers

The value of 0.2% is somewhat arbitrary and is

used to set some standard. A yield stress, representing the transition point from elastic to plastic deformation, is difficult to measure. This
is because the stress-strain curve is not linearly
proportional after the proportional limit, which
can be as high as one-half the yield strength in
some metals. Therefore, a transition from elastic to plastic behavior in a stress-strain curve is
difficult to discern. The use of a 0.2% offset is

2.48 A material has the following properties: UTS =

coefficient K.
Therefore the true strains are additive. Using the same approach for engineering strain
as defined by Eq. (2.1), we obtain e1 = 0.1667,
e2 = 0.1429, and e3 = 0.5. The sum of these
strains is e1 +e2 +e3 = 0.8096. The engineering
strain from step 1 to 3 is
e=
Let us first note that the true UTS of this material is given by UTStrue = Knn (because at
necking = n). We can then determine the
value of this stress from the UTS by following a procedure similar to Example 2.1. Since

2.49 Based on the information given in Fig. 2.6, calculate the ultimate tensile strength of annealed

From Fig. 2.6 on p. 37, the true stress for annealed 70-30 brass at necking (where the slope
becomes constant; see Fig. 2.7a on p. 40) is
found to be about 60,000 psi, while the true

The areas at necking are calculated as follows (from Aneck = Ao en ):
Thus,
AA = (7)e0.3 = 5.18 mm2

UTS = (60, 000)(0.819) = 49, 100 psi
AB = (2.5)e0.3 = 1.85 mm2

AC = (3)e0.3 = 2.22 mm2
2.50 Calculate the ultimate tensile strength (engineering) of a material whose strength coefficient
is 400 MPa and of a tensile-test specimen that
necks at a true strain of 0.20.
AD = (2)e0.3 = 1.48 mm2

Hence the total load that the cable can
support is
In this problem we have K = 400 MPa and

n = 0.20. Following the same procedure as in
Example 2.1, we find the true ultimate tensile
strength is
(314)(5.18) + (418)(1.85)
+(209)(2.22) + (530)(1.48)

(b) If the n values of the four strands were different, the procedure would consist of plotting the load-elongation curves of the four
strands on the same chart, then obtaining graphically the maximum load. Alternately, a computer program can be written
to determine the maximum load.

and

It is found that fracture takes place at an angle

The work done is calculated from Eq. (2.62) on

Upon loading it again in tension, it will
immediately begin to neck.

approach zero. This observation suggests that

According to the distortion energy criterion, we
have 1 = 1.15Yf , or

2 = 0, and 3 = 1 /2. What is the value of

2.83 A steel plate has the dimensions 100 mm 100

tension of 1 = 2 , with the stress in the thickness direction of 3 = 0. What is the largest
possible change in volume at yielding, using the
von Mises criterion? What would this change
in volume be if the plate were made of copper?
From Table 2.1 on p. 32, it is noted that for
steel we can use E = 200 GPa and = 0.30.
For a stress state of 1 = 2 and 3 = 0, the
von Mises criterion predicts that at yielding,

to the stresses 1 = 25 MPa, 2 = 15 MPa and
3 = 26 MPa, will it yield? Explain.
According to the maximum shear-stress criterion, the effective stress is given by Eq. (2.51)
on p. 69 as:

is higher than the yield stress for the maximum
shear-stress criterion, and lower than the yield
stress for the distortion-energy criterion. It is
impossible to state whether or not the material will yield at this stress state. An accurate
statement would be that yielding is imminent,
if it is not already occurring.

2.94 During the production of a part, a metal with

a yield strength of 110 MPa is subjected to a
stress state 1 , 2 = 1 /3, 3 = 0. Sketch the
Mohrs circle diagram for this stress state. Determine the stress 1 necessary to cause yielding
by the maximum shear stress and the von Mises
criteria.
For the stress state of 1 , 1 /3, 0 the following

The following are calculated from Eqs. (2.6),

2.97 A metal is yielding plastically under the stress 2.98 It has been proposed to modify the von Mises
yield criterion as:

where C is a constant and a is an even integer larger than 2. Plot this yield criterion for
a = 4 and a = 12, along with the Tresca and
von Mises criteria, in plane stress. (Hint: See
Fig. 2.36 on p. 67).

For plane stress, one of the stresses, say 3 , is

zero, and the other stresses are A and B . The
yield criterion is then

proper numerical convention (1, 2, 3).

criterion?
(c) What if the von Mises criterion is used?
(d) The stress state causes measured strains
of 1 = 0.4 and 2 = 0.2, with 3 not being
measured. What is the value of 3 ?
For uniaxial tension, A = Y and B = 0 so

that C = 2Y a . These equations are difficult
to solve by hand; the following solution was
obtained using a mathematical programming
package:
von Mises

a=12
Tresca

Y = 50 MPa (40 MPa) = 90 MPa
(c) If the von Mises criterion is used, then
Eq. (2.37) on p. 64 gives
Note that the solution for a = 2 (von Mises)

and a = 4 are so close that they cannot be
distinguished in the plot. When zoomed into
a portion of the curve, one would see that the
a = 4 curve lies between the von Mises curve
and the a = 12 curve.
(1 2 )2 + (2 3 )2 + (3 1 )2 = 2Y 2
or
2Y 2 = (50 20)2 + (20 + 40)2 + (50 + 40)2
or
2Y 2 = 12, 600
which is solved as Y = 79.4 MPa.

then from Eq. (2.48) on p. 69,
2.99 Assume that you are asked to give a quiz to students on the contents of this chapter. Prepare
three quantitative problems and three qualitative questions, and supply the answers.
By the student. This is a challenging, openended question that requires considerable focus
and understanding on the part of the student,
and has been found to be a very valuable homework problem.
