A steel alloy specimen having a rectangular cross section of dimensions 19.1 mm × 3.0 mm (0.7520 in. × 0.1181 in.) has the stress-strain behavior shown in the Animated Figure 6.22. If this specimen is subjected to a tensile force of 95120 N (21380 lbf) then (a) Determine the amount of elastic strain induced. (b) Determine the amount of plastic strain induced. (c) If its original length is 590 mm, what will be its final length after this force is applied and then released? The elastic modulus for steel is 207 GPa.
