Normal stress159.2 MPa
Strain0.0007958
Elongation1.592 mm
Step-by-step solution
Cross-section
A = πd²/4 = 314.2 mm²
Stress, strain and elongation
σ = F/A = 50000/314.2 = 159.2 MPa
ε = σ/E = 0.0007958
ΔL = ε·L = 1.592 mm
Key formulas
- Normal stress
- σ = F/A
- Strain
- ε = ΔL/L
- Hooke’s law
- σ = E·ε
- Elongation
- ΔL = FL/(EA)
- Thermal strain
- εT = α·ΔT
