A solid plastic rod has a diameter of d = 34 mm and a length of L = 500 mm. An axial load of P = 34 kN is applied to the rod as shown. The elastic modulus is E = 2.5 GPa and Poisson's ratio for this material is v=0.40. Determine the magnitude of the change in the rod diameter Ad for the given load.

Material Properties

Construction in civil engineering demands high strength, durability, and longevity. These targets can be achieved by better design and analysis, along with the correct choice of materials. Different materials have different properties and hence, they respond and performs differently under the various condition of external loadings. It is therefore a critical task of an engineer to select the right material based on the property that the material is supposed to function in real-time. When speaking about the property, there are different categories of material properties like chemical property, physical property, mechanical property, electrical property, magnetic property, thermal property, etc. These material properties form the basis of material selection in various applications.
