a. Carbon nanotubes are one of the stiffest and strongest materials known to
scientists and engineers. Carbon nanotubes have an elastic modulus of 1.1
TPa. (1 TPa =1012 Pa). If a carbon nanotube has a diameter of 15 nm,
determine the engineering stress sustained by the nanotube when subjected
to a tensile load of 4 μN (1 μN =10-6 N) along the length of the tube. Assume
that the entire cross-sectional area of the nanotube is load bearing.
b. Assume that the carbon nanotube is only deformed elastically (not plastically)
under the load of 4μN. The carbon nanotube has a length of 10 μm. What is
the tensile elongation (displacement) of the carbon nanotube in nanometer?
2. A 3780-N force is applied to a 0.375-cm.-diameter nickel wire having yield strength of 310
MPa and a tensile strength of 379 MPa. Determine
5. A steel cable 3.13 cm in diameter and 1500 cm long is to lift a 18,140-kg load. What is
the length of the cable during lifting? The modulus of elasticity of the steel is 207 x103
MPa.
6. The following data were collected from a test specimen of cold-rolled and annealed
brass. The specimen had an initial gage length, 𝑙0 of 35 mm and an initial cross-sectional
area, 𝐴0 of 10.5 mm2.
(a) Using a graph paper, plot the engineering stress–strain curve and the true stress–
strain curve. Since the instantaneous cross-sectional area of the specimen is
unknown past the point of necking, truncate the true stress–true strain data at the
point that corresponds to the ultimate tensile strength.
(b) Comment on the relative values of true stress–strain and engineering stress–strain
during the elastic loading and prior to necking.
(c) If the true stress–strain data were known past the point of necking, what might the
curve look like?
(f) Calculate the elastic modulus using a linear fit to the appropriate data.
7. A specimen of magnesium having a rectangular cross section of dimensions 3.2 mm ×
19.1 mm is deformed in tension. Using the load–elongation data tabulated as follows,
complete parts (a) through (f).
8. A cylindrical metal specimen having an original diameter of 12.8 mm (0.505 in.) and
gauge length of 50.80 mm (2.000 in.) is pulled in tension until fracture occurs. The
diameter at the point of fracture is 8.13 mm (0.320 in.), and the fractured gauge length is
74.17 mm (2.920 in.). Calculate the ductility in terms of percent reduction in area and
percent elongation.
9. For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50,000 psi) produces a plastic true strain
of 0.02. How much will a specimen of this material elongate when a true stress of 415
MPa (60,000 psi) is applied if the original length is 500 mm (20 in.)? Assume a value of
0.22 for the strain-hardening exponent, n.
10. The following true stresses produce the corresponding true plastic strains for a brass
alloy:
11. A Brinell hardness measurement, using a 10-mm-diameter indenter and a 500 kg load,
produces an indentation of 4.5 mm on an aluminium plate. Determine the Brinell
hardness number (HB) of the metal.
12. When a 3000 kg load is applied to a 10-mm-diameter ball in a Brinell test of steel, an
indentation of 3.1 mm diameter is produced. Estimate the tensile strength of the steel.
13. The following data were obtained from a series of Charpy impact tests performed on four
ductile cast irons, each having different silicon content. Plot the data.
(a) the transition temperature of each (defined by the mean of the absorbed energies
in the ductile and brittle regions) and
(b) the transition temperature of each (defined as the temperature that provides 10 J
absorbed energy).
(c) Plot the transition temperature versus silicon content and discuss the effect of
silicon on the toughness of the cast iron. What is the maximum silicon allowed in the
cast iron if a part is to be used at 25°C?
