Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 46QLP
Wire rope consists of many wires that bend and unbend as the rope is run over a sheave. A wire-rope failure is investigated, and it is found that some of the wires, when examined under a scanning electron microscope, display cup-and-cone failure surfaces, while others display transgranular fracture surfaces. Comment on these observations.

A three-point transverse bending test was performed on a glass specimen having a square
cross-section of 18.5 mm length on each edge. The specimen fractured at a load of 4530
N when the distance between support points was 42 mm.
A second test is to be performed on another specimen of this same glass material, but one
that has a circular cross-section. What minimum specimen diameter is required to ensure
that fracture will not occur when a load of 3480 N is applied? Assume that the support
separation is maintained at 42 mm.
mm
A cylindrical metal specimen having an original diameter of 10.07 mm and gauge length of 46.0 mm is pulled in tension until fracture occurs. The diameter at the point of fracture is 7.17 mm, and the fractured gauge length is 68.9 mm. Calculate the ductility in terms of (a) percent reduction in area (percent RA), and (b) percent elongation (percent EL).
Example
A 13 mm-diameter tensile specimen has a 50 mm gage length. The load corresponding
to the 0.2 percent offset is 6800 kg and the maximum load is 1800 kg. Fracture occurs
at 7300 kg. The diameter after fracture is 8 mm and the gage length at fracture is 65
mm. calculate the standard properties of the material from the tension test.
