1.5-3. During a tensile test of a specimen of unknown material, an increase in length of 6.792 103
inches within the gage length was recorded at a load of 5000 lb. The specimen diameter was 0.5 inch
and the gage length was 8 inches. (The gage length is the distance between two marks placed along the
length of the specimen.) a. Based on this one data point, what is the modulus of elasticity? b. If the
maximum load reached before fracture was 14,700 lb, what is the ultimate tensile stress?

1.5-4. A tensile test was conducted on a specimen with a diameter of 0.5 inch. A strain gage was bonded
to the specimen so that the strain could be obtained directly. The following data were obtained:
a. Create a table of stress and strain values.
b. Plot these data points, and draw a best-fit straight line through
them. c. What is the slope of this line? What does this value
represent?

1.5-5. A tension test was conducted on a specimen with a circular cross section of diameter 0.5 inch and
a gage length of 8 inches. (The gage length is the distance between two marks on the specimen. The
deformation is measured within this length.) The stress and strain were computed from the test data and
plotted. Two plots are shown here; the first one shows the entire test range, and the second shows a
portion near the proportional limit.
a. Draw best-fit lines to obtain stressstrain curves.
b. Estimate the proportional limit.
c. Use the slope of the best-fit line to estimate the modulus of elasticity.
d. Estimate the 0.2% offset yield strength.
e. Estimate the ultimate stress.
f. If a load of 10 kips is applied and then removed, estimate the permanent deformation in inches.

1.5-6. The data shown in the table were obtained from a tensile test of a metal specimen with a diameter
of 0.500 inch and a gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) of 2.00 inches. The
specimen was not loaded to failure.
a. Generate a table of stress and strain values.
b. Plot these values and draw a best-fit line to obtain a stressstrain
curve.
c. Use the slope of the best-fit line to estimate the modulus of
elasticity.
d. Estimate the value of the proportional limit. e. Use the 0.2% offset
method to determine the yield strength.

1.5-7 The data shown in the table were obtained from a tensile test of a metal specimen with a
rectangular cross section of 0.2 in.2 in area and a gage length (the length over which the elongation is
measured) of 2.000 inches. a. Generate a table of stress and strain values. b. Plot these values and draw
a best-fit line to obtain a stressstrain curve. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity from the slope of
the linear portion of the curve. d. Estimate the value of the proportional limit. e. Use the 0.2% offset
