A titanium cable of radius r = 15 mm and length Lo = 40 m is stretched by a force F = 500 kN. The bulk modulus of this alloy is K = 110 GPa and the shear modulus is G = 44 GPa. Using only this information, calculate:
(a) The length of the cable when it is loaded.
(b) The diameter of the cable when loaded.
A tensile test on this titanium alloy revealed that the strain hardening section of the plastic regime could be approximated by: g = 1300 + 1600famzic MPa Where Emal = Egla?lic + Ella?
(c) What is the yield stress of this alloy?
(d) Calculate the strain at which the cable will start necking.
(e) What is the ultimate tensile strength of this material?
