Figure 6.21 shows the tensile engineering stress-strain behavior for a steel alloy. What is the yield strength at a strain offset of 0.002? What is the tensile strength?

Solution

ANS A :The 0.002 strain offset line intersects the stress-strain curve at approximately 350MPa. ANS B :The tensile strength (the maximum on the curve) is approximately 515 MPa .
