*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]

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(𝜖𝜖) = 0.05/100 = 0.0005 [1pt]
𝜎𝜎=𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸
𝜎𝜎=195×0.0005=97.5 MPa [1pt]
3. The critical tensile stress of 0.8 MPa (116 psi) 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? (Note that, in the cubic system, a given [hkl] direction is the normal to the (hkl) plane.

[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]
