Given that: E al = 68.9 GPa and ν = 0.35, determine: (a) the normal stress; (b) the decrease in its length; and (c) its new diameter. 2. (Problem 9-28 from Hibbeler - Statics and Mechanics of Materials) Figure 1: Shear stress-strain diagram for a steel alloy and a bolted connection The shear stress strain diagram for a steel alloy is shown in Figure 1. The bolt with 5 mm diameter is made of this material and used in the lap joint. Given that: ν = 0.3, determine: (a) the shearing modulus G (modulus of rigidity); (b) the modulus of elasticity E; and (c) the force P required to cause the material to yield. Hint: Find yielding shear from figure. 3.
