Homework 4 Answer

The document presents a series of calculation problems related to material properties and stress analysis, including elastic and plastic deformation, tensile stress in copper, critical resolved shear stress in aluminum, heat required for temperature change in quartz, and crack length for catastrophic failure in steel. Each problem is followed by a detailed solution with calculations expressed in appropriate units. The answers demonstrate the application of material science principles and formulas to derive the required values.

*When solving a calculation problem, describe the process of finding the solution and provide

your answer in the specified unit. Otherwise, it will be considered incorrect.

1. A load of 85,000 N is applied to a cylindrical specimen of a steel alloy (displaying the stress–
strain behavior shown in the graph below) that has a cross-sectional diameter of 20 mm (1MPa
= 106N/m2). Will the specimen experience elastic and/or plastic deformation? (Express
measurements in MPa) [2pt]

Answer:

The 270.56 MPa point is within the linear portion of the curve, and, therefore, the deformation will be elastic. [1pt]

2. The maximum modulus of elasticity for a copper crystal is 195 GPa. What tensile stress is
required along the corresponding crystallographic direction in order to increase the interatomic
separation distance by 0.05%? (Express measurements in MPa) [2pt]

Answer:
Strain(𝜖) = 0.05/100 = 0.0005 [1pt]
𝜎=𝐸𝜖
𝜎=195×0.0005=97.5 MPa [1pt]
3. The critical tensile stress (𝜎, ) of 0.8 MPa is applied along the [111] direction of cubic aluminum
crystal. If this stress cause slip on the [101] (111") system, what is the critical resolved shear stress
(𝜏, ) ? (Note that, in the cubic system, a given [hkl] direction is the normal to the (hkl) plane.
Express measurements in MPa) [2pt]

Answer:

[Link] specific heat of quartz is 730 J kg-1 K-1 and its density is 2.65 g cm-3 . How many J of heat
are required to raise the temperature of a quartz chip (of volume = 6.0 x 10-6 m3) from room
temperature (25°C) to 40°C? (Express measurements in J) [2pt]

Answer:
Mass of quartz = 2.65 g cm-3 x 6.0 x 10-6 m3 = 15.9 g [1pt]
Q(heat, J)= (Mass)x (specific heat)x(temperature change)
Q = (15.9 g)x (730 J/kg*K)x(15K)=174.105 J [1pt]
