Questions and Answers

What is the carbon content of the steel bar that reached rupture at a load of 196 kN?

  • 0.5%
  • 0.2% (correct)
  • 1.0%
  • 0.8%

Which specimen exhibited the highest load at rupture?

  • All specimens had the same load at rupture
  • Specimen 3 (0.8%) (correct)
  • Specimen 1 (0.2%)
  • Specimen 2 (0.5%)

What impact does increasing carbon content have on the yield strength of steel bars?

  • It remains constant regardless of carbon content.
  • It is unrelated to the composition of steel.
  • It increases with higher carbon content. (correct)

Flashcards

Tensile Stress

Tensile stress is calculated by dividing the applied load by the cross-sectional area of the material.

Tensile Strain

Tensile strain is the measure of deformation in a material under tension, calculated by dividing the change in length by the original length.

Proportional Limit

The point on a stress-strain curve where stress and strain are directly proportional, meaning the material behaves elastically.

0.2% offset yield strength

The stress value at which a material deforms plastically by 0.2%.

Study Notes

Tensile Tests on Steel Specimens

  • Three steel specimens (0.2%, 0.5%, and 0.8% carbon content) with a 25mm diameter were subjected to tension until rupture.
  • Gauge length was 50mm.
  • Table P3.19 shows load vs. deformation data for each specimen at various deformation increments.

Calculations

  • Calculate tensile stress and strain for each specimen and load increment.
  • Plot stress vs. strain for all specimens on one graph.

Material Properties

  • Proportional Limit: Determine the proportional limit for each specimen.
  • 0.2% Offset Yield Strength: Determine the 0.2% offset yield strength for each specimen.
  • Modulus of Elasticity: Determine the modulus of elasticity for each specimen.
  • Strain at Rupture: Calculate the strain at rupture for each specimen.

Effect of Carbon Content

  • Analyze the effect of increasing carbon content on:
    • Yield strength
    • Modulus of elasticity
    • Ductility
