In order to evaluate the properties of a material, samples are taken and tested. What are the two most important factors that must be satisfied when the sample is collected? Show how these factors can be satisfied.
1. A vertical pressure of 70 MPa is applied to an aluminum cube sample with a length of 10
cm on each side. The modulus of elasticity of aluminum is 70000 MPa and the Poisson ratio
is 0.3.
a) Find the new dimensions of the cube
b) What will be the new dimensions if 70 MPa pressure is applied in the horizontal
directions in addition to the 70 MPa pressure in the vertical direction?
A rectangular block of aluminum 30 mm * 60 mm * 90 mm is placed in a pressure chamber and subjected to a pressure of 100 MPa. If the modulus of elasticity is 70 GPa and Poisson’s ratio is 0.333, what will be the decrease in the longest side of the block, assuming that the material remains within the linear elastic region? What will be the decrease in the volume of the block?
