1. A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) is located on rolling terrain and has 12-ft lanes, no lateral obstructions
within 6 ft of the pavement edges, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and three ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. A weekday directional peak-hour volume of 1800 vehicles (familiar users) is observed, with 700 arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If a LOS no worse than C is desired, determine the maximum number of heavy vehicles that can be present in the peak-hour traffic stream.

Answer:
the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
K = σT/ (εT)ⁿ
given that metal alloy true stress σT = 345 Mpa, plastic true strain εT = 0.02,
strain-hardening exponent n = 0.22
we substitute
K = 345 /
K = 815.8165 Mpa
next, we determine the true strain
(εT) = (σT/ K)^1/n
given that σT = 412 MPa
we substitute
(εT) = (412 / 815.8165 )^(1/0.22)
(εT) = 0.04481 mm
Now, we calculate the instantaneous length
=
given that = 480 mm
we substitute
=
×
= 501.998 mm
Now we find the elongation;
Elongation =
we substitute
Elongation = 501.998 mm - 480 mm
Elongation = 21.998 mm
Therefore, the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm
