Calculate the maximum stress during the test Estimate the true uniform and necking strains [if the fracture dia is 10mm]. Evaluate the toughness of the material.

A test bar 12.83mm in diameter with a 50mm gage length is loaded elastically with 156kN and is stretched 0.356mm. Its diameter is 12.80mm under load. a. What is the bulk modulus of the bar? b. What is its shear modulus? The stress-strain curve of a material is described by the equation: =6000.35 MPa. a. Find the 0.2% offset yield stress. b.
