A 0.625 in. thick rectangular alloy bar is subjected to a tensile load P by pins at A and B as shown. The
width of the bar is w = 2.00 in. Strain gages bonded to the specimen measure the following strains in the longitudinal
(x) and transverse (y) directions: εx = 1,140 με and εy = −315 με.
a) Determine the Poisson’s ratio for this material.
b) If the measured strains were produced by an axial load of P=17.4 kips, what is the modulus of elasticity for this
specimen?

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 3:**
A 0.625 in. thick rectangular alloy bar is subjected to a tensile load \( P \) by pins at \( A \) and \( B \) as shown. The width of the bar is \( w = 2.00 \) in. Strain gages bonded to the specimen measure the following strains in the longitudinal (\( x \)) and transverse (\( y \)) directions: \( \varepsilon_x = 1,140 \, \mu\varepsilon \) and \( \varepsilon_y = -315 \, \mu\varepsilon \).
a) Determine the Poisson’s ratio for this material.
b) If the measured strains were produced by an axial load of \( P = 17.4 \) kips, what is the modulus of elasticity for this specimen?
**Explanation of Diagram:**
The diagram shows a rectangular alloy bar with a tensile load applied at two points, \( A \) and \( B \), on the bar. The strain gages are attached to the specimen to measure the longitudinal and transverse strains. The bar's orientation and dimensions are indicated, with directions \( x \) (longitudinal) and \( y \) (transverse) clearly labeled.
