Finding Modulus of Elasticity

A steel bar with a diameter of 80 mm and length of 240 mm is stressed to 280 MPa. To find the (a) strain and (b) force: (a) The modulus of elasticity is 205 GPa. Using this and the stress, the strain is calculated to be 0.00137. (b) Using the modulus of elasticity, strain, length, and calculating the cross-sectional area, the force is calculated to be 1.435 MN (1 tonne). A steel tensile test specimen with a cross-sectional area of 100 mm^2 and gauge length of 50 mm is tested. Given the gradient of the elastic section is 410 kN/mm,

QUESTION # 1

A steel bar is stressed to 280 MPa. The modulus of elasticity is 205GPa. The bar is 80 mm in
diameter and has a length of 240mm. Find strain (a) and force (b) .
Given:

Stress = 280 MPa


Modulus of elasticity = 205 Gpa
Diameter of steel rod = 50mm
Length of steel rod = 240mm
Finding strain

(a) Modulus of elasticity = 205GPa =

205 GPa

1000 MPa
=205000 MPa
GPa

Modulus of elasticity = (stress) (strain)

280 MPa
=205000 MPa
strain

280 MPa=205000 MPa strain


290 MPa/205000 MPa=strain
strain=0.00137

(b)

(force (cross sectional area)) (strain)=modulus of elasticity
