At an axial load of 22 kN, a 15-mm-thick × 40-mm-wide polyimide polymer bar elongates 4.1 mm while the bar width contracts 0.15

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The Poisson's Ratio of the bar is 0.247

Explanation:

The Poisson's ratio is got by using the formula

Lateral strain / longitudinal strain

Lateral strain = elongation / original width (since we are given the change in width as a result of compession)

Lateral strain = 0.15mm / 40 mm =0.00375

Please note that strain is a dimensionless quantity, hence it has no unit.

The Longitudinal strain is the ratio of the elongation to the original length in the longitudinal direction.

Longitudinal strain = 4.1 mm / 270 mm = 0.015185

Hence, the Poisson's ratio of the bar is 0.00375/0.015185 = 0.247

The Poisson's Ratio of the bar is 0.247

Please note also that this quantity also does not have a dimension

A fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 46.2 MPa and the stress amplitude was 219 MPa.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

a)σ₁ = 265.2 MPa

b)σ₂ = -172.8 MPa

c) $Stress\ ratio =-0.65$

d)Range = 438 MPa

Explanation:

Given that

Mean stress ,σm= 46.2 MPa

Stress amplitude ,σa= 219 MPa

Lets take

Maximum stress level = σ₁

Minimum stress level =σ₂

The mean stress given as

$\sigma_m=\dfrac{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}{2}$

$2\sigma_m={\sigma_1+\sigma_2}$

2 x 46.2 = σ₁ + σ₂

σ₁ + σ₂ = 92.4 MPa --------1

The amplitude stress given as

$\sigma_a=\dfrac{\sigma_1-\sigma_2}{2}$

$2\sigma_a={\sigma_1-\sigma_2}$

2 x 219 = σ₁ - σ₂

σ₁ - σ₂ = 438 MPa --------2

By adding the above equation

2 σ₁ = 530.4

σ₁ = 265.2 MPa

-σ₂ = 438 -265.2 MPa

σ₂ = -172.8 MPa

Stress ratio

$Stress\ ratio =\dfrac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}$

$Stress\ ratio =\dfrac{-172.8}{265.2}$

$Stress\ ratio =-0.65$

Range = 265.2 MPa - ( -172.8 MPa)

Range = 438 MPa
