how to determine the tensile stress placed on the skin of a pressurized sphere

Homework Statement What is the ultimate tensile strength if necking begins at a true strain = 0.25 in a material whose stress strain curve obeys the relation: sigma=120000(epsilon)^1/2 psi? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I'm kind of stumped on this. I really...

Hi there, I am currently looking to measure the tensile strength using Young’s Modulus for steel and brass. My results I have obtained are comparable with published values of E. My question is regarding the formulae, the one I used was: E = F/x X l/a Where a is the original cross section...

Homework Statement differance between tensile and yield strength. please help. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

How would i calculate the stress and strain with the results from a lab below: Steel’s original diameter: 8.00 mm Steel’s original length: 49.96 mm Steel’s final diameter: 4.64 mm Steel’s final length: 63.17 mm Steel’s maximum load force: 26.43 kN I also have an MS Excel table of time, laser...

Tensile Strength of 4" square RV Bumper I'm building a Class II style hitch for mounting on a 4" square RV Bumper. The RV bumper wall thickness is around .090 thousands. The bumper is welded perpendicular to a couple box frames on 60" centers. I intend to mount the hitch directly to the center...

Homework Statement A load of 172 kg is supported by a wire of length 2.07m and cross-sectional area .143cm^2. The wire is stretched by 0.149 cm. Find tensile stress, strain, and Young's modulus. Homework Equations stress= F/A strain= ∆L/L E= stress/strain The Attempt at a...

Can you guys solve a debate for me?If you have two objects and apply a physical stress to them, let's say in the forum of pressure. First object: Tensile strength 400 lbs. and you apply 200 lbs Second object: Tensile strength 200 lbs and you apply 100 lbs. So each is under 1/2 it's tensile...

Homework Statement "The axial load for a given test sample carries 1590 N. Calculate tensile stress at sections (1) and (2) assuming the sample thickness is 5mm. (Rectangular cross section). http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/121/tensilestressby1.th.jpg Homework Equations normal...

Why would a rope have a lower bending and compressive stiffness that a rod of the same diameter, but would have the same axial tensile stiffness?

Hi, I am doing a small project on the "construction and control of a modern tensile testing machine" and am a bit unsure as to where to start on this! Does anyone have any ideas as to where I could find information on this subject, or know anything that might be helpful? Thanks, Chris

I am a Physics novice. While reading an article on tensile strength in wikipedia, I began to wonder what force is responsible for keeping the atoms or molecules of something like a rope together. I mean what force would tension on the rope would have to overcome in order to break the rope...

Max tensile strength of "Unobtanium" "Unobtanium", of course, is that ever popular fictional material used in Sci-Fi to do things that today's materials can't. The idea being that although the materials we know of and use today have well established limits, there's no telling what will be...

How is tranverse tensile strength defined? How is it measured for thin fibers? Some high strength fibers such as carbon fibers have longitudinal tensile strength of 1,000,000 psi. But these fibers have diameters that measure in the microns. How could a transverse tensile strength be measured in...

Could anybody tell me what material will give the best tensile strength to weight ratio? I figure it's between steel cable and the nylon type stuff used in some dog leashes, but I'm not sure which.

Hi All, I have been working on a product development project and have run into a snag that I was hoping I could get some advice on. We need to determine the mechanical properties of a thin-walled nickel tube. Specifically young's modulus and yield strength. The current wall thickness...

A 1260kg freight elevator is supported by a steel cable of diameter 34.9mm. It is loaded with a crowd of people collectively having a mass of 2850kg and it is descending. a) What is the strain on the cable while the elevator is descending at the constant speed of 2.30 m/s? b) What is the...

Having a bit of a problem with this question, Find the minimum diameter of an alloy cable, tensile strength 75 MPa, needed to support a load of 15 kN. I know the answer is 1.6cm but i need someone to help explain how to get it. Ive got this far... Tensile strength of cable = 75 MPa...
