Assignment I

1. Tension test was conducted on a specimen and the following readings were recorded. Diameter = 25 mm Gauge length of extensometer = 200 mm Least count of extensometer = 0.001 mm At a load of 30 kN, extensometer reading = 60 At a load of 50 kN, extensometer reading = 100 Yield load = 160 kN Maximum load = 205 kN Diameter neck = 17 mm Final extension over 125 mm original length = 150 mm Find Youngs Modulus, yield stress, ultimate stress, percentage elongation and percentage reduction in area. [Ans. E = 2.0372 105 N/mm2, py = 325.95 N/mm2. Ultimate stress = 417.62 N/mm2, % elongation = 20% reduction in area = 53.76] 2. The composite bar shown in Figure is subjected to a tensile force of 30 kN. The extension observed is 0.44. Find the Youngs modulus of brass, if Youngs modulus of steel is 2 510 N/mm2. [Ans. 99745 N/mm2]
