A cylindrical specimen of aluminium having a diameter of 19 mm and length of 200 mm is
deformed elastically in tension with a force of 48,800 N. Using the data contained in Table 6.1
determine the following:
(a) The amount by which this specimen will elongate in the direction of the applied stress.
(b) The change in diameter of the specimen. Will the diameter increase or decrease?

A cylindrical specimen of some metal alloy 10 mm in diameter is stressed elastically in tension. A
force of 15,000 N produces a reduction in specimen diameter of 7 ! 10
-3
mm. Compute Poissons
ratio for this material if its elastic modulus is 100 GPa.

(a) Define volume strain, !, in the straining of an elastic solid.
(b) Calculate the volume strain ! in the uniaxial elastic extension of a bar of material, assuming
strains are small, in terms of Poissons ratio " and the tensile strain #.
(c) Find the value of Poissons ratio " for which the volume change during elastic deformation is
zero.
(d) Poisson's ratio " for most metals is about 0.3. For cork it is close to zero; for rubber it is close
to 0.5. What are the appropriate volume changes in each of these materials during an elastic
tensile strain of #.
