Question 1 Explanation:
Given
\begin{aligned} \sigma_{\mathrm{T}} & =400 \varepsilon^{0.3}=400 \varepsilon_{\mathrm{T}}^{0.3} \;\;\;...(i)\\ \varepsilon & =\text { true strain }=\varepsilon_{\mathrm{T}} \\ \mathrm{n} & =0.3=\text { strain hardening exponent } \end{aligned}
The true strain \left(\varepsilon_{T}\right) at the onset of necking equal to the strain hardening exponent i.e. at ultimate tensile point.
So, \quad \varepsilon_{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{n}=0.3 at ultimate point
So, from equation (i)
\sigma_{\mathrm{T}} =400 \times(0.3)^{0.3} =278.74 \mathrm{MPa} \text { at ultimate point }
As \varepsilon_{\mathrm{T}}=\ln (1+\varepsilon)
So, \varepsilon=\mathrm{e}^{\varepsilon} \mathrm{T}-1=\mathrm{e}^{0.3}-1=0.35
and \sigma_{\mathrm{T}}=\sigma(1+\varepsilon)
So \sigma_{\text {ultimate }}=\frac{\sigma_{T}}{1+\varepsilon}+\frac{278.74}{1+0.35}=206.55 \mathrm{MPa}
\begin{aligned} \sigma_{\mathrm{T}} & =400 \varepsilon^{0.3}=400 \varepsilon_{\mathrm{T}}^{0.3} \;\;\;...(i)\\ \varepsilon & =\text { true strain }=\varepsilon_{\mathrm{T}} \\ \mathrm{n} & =0.3=\text { strain hardening exponent } \end{aligned}
The true strain \left(\varepsilon_{T}\right) at the onset of necking equal to the strain hardening exponent i.e. at ultimate tensile point.
So, \quad \varepsilon_{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{n}=0.3 at ultimate point

So \sigma_{\text {ultimate }}=\frac{\sigma_{T}}{1+\varepsilon}+\frac{278.74}{1+0.35}=206.55 \mathrm{MPa}
Question 2 |
The principal stresses at a point P in a solid are 70 MPa, -70 MPa and 0. The
yield stress of the material is 100 MPa. Which prediction(s) about material failure
at P is/are CORRECT?
Maximum normal stress theory predicts that the material fails | |
Maximum shear stress theory predicts that the material fails | |
Maximum normal stress theory predicts that the material does not fail | |
Maximum shear stress theory predicts that the material does not fail |
Question 2 Explanation:
\sigma _1=70MPa, \sigma _2= -70MPa, \sigma _3=0 , S_{yt}=100MPa
For maximum shear stress theory:
\frac{\sigma _1-\sigma _2 }{2}=\frac{70-(-70)}{2}=70
and \frac{S_{yt} }{2}=\frac{100}{2}=50
i.e. \frac{\sigma _1-\sigma _2 }{2} \gt \frac{S_{yt} }{2}
So material will fail As per maximum normal stress theory:
\sigma _1 \; and \; sigma _2 \gt sigma _{yt}
then material will fail
Here 70 & -70 < 100
So material is safe.

A prismatic bar PQRST is subjected to axial loads as shown in the figure. The segments having maximum and minimum axial stresses, respectively, are

Question 3 Explanation:

\begin{aligned} P_{\max }&=P_{S T}=25 \mathrm{kN} \\ P_{\min }&=P_{R S}=5 \mathrm{kN} \end{aligned}
Hence, maximum and minimum axial stresses are in ST and RS portions because of prismatic bar.

There are 5 questions to complete.
Explaination of Q6 is wrong.
Can you please specify with more details..
The answer for q6 is 13%
As the compliance error elongation = 0.05*40 = 2mm/N
Elongation shown = 15mm
Therefore,
Actual elongation = 15-2 =13
Actual strain % = ((13/100)*100) = 13%
compliance error = 2mm
