- How does a tensile stress differ from a compressive stress?arrow_forwardThe data in Table 1.5.3 were obtained from a tensile test of a metal specimen with a rectangular cross section of 0.2011in.2 in area and a gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) of 2.000 inches. The specimen was not loaded to failure. a. Generate a table of stress and strain values. b. Plot these values and draw a best-fit line to obtain a stress-strain curve. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity from the slope of the linear portion of the curve. d. Estimate the value of the proportional limit. e. Use the 0.2 offset method to determine the yield stress.arrow_forwardA tensile test was performed on a metal specimen having a circular cross section with a diameter 0. 510 inch. For each increment of load applied, the strain was directly determined by means of a strain gage attached to the specimen. The results are, shown in Table: 1.5.1. a. Prepare a table of stress and strain. b. Plot these data to obtain a stress-strain curve. Do not connect the data points; draw a best-fit straight line through them. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity as the slope of the best-fit line.arrow_forward
