Transcribed Image Text:### Uniaxial Test on Bone Specimen
A uniaxial test was conducted on a bone specimen with an initial central (gauge) region measuring 6 mm in length and 2 mm in diameter. The following five data points were recorded:
| Axial Force (N) | Change in Length (mm) |
|-----------------|-----------------------|
| 94 | 0.009 |
| 190 | 0.018 |
| 284 | 0.027 |
| 376 | 0.050 |
| 440 | 0.094 |
### Instructions:
1. **Plot the Stress–Strain Relation:**
- Convert the axial force to stress and change in length to strain.
- Plot the stress-strain curve using the data points provided.
2. **Calculate Young’s Modulus:**
- Determine the slope of the linear portion of the stress-strain curve to find Young’s modulus.
3. **Determine the Yield Stress:**
- Identify the point at which the curve transitions from elastic to plastic deformation to estimate the yield stress (~118 MPa).
### Notes:
- The yield stress indicates the transition from elastic to plastic behavior in the material.
- Refer to Figure 2.25 for additional context on the stress-strain relationship.
- Data sourced from Özkaya and Nordin (1999).
