Elastic Properties of Aluminum Alloys

The document contains 4 solved mechanics of materials problems involving determining mechanical properties such as Poisson's ratio, stress, strain, and changes in geometry from applied forces. The problems provide figures of materials under axial loads and their stress-strain diagrams. Calculations are shown using equations for strain, stress, and geometry changes to solve for values like new lengths and diameters.

axial compressive force of 36 kN. If the 37-mm side changed its length to 37.6033 mm,
determine:
(a) Poisson's ratio
(b) the new length ofthe 50-mm.
