A brass rod 1.5 cm in diameter is deformed in tension reducing its diameter to 1.128 cm.
a) If the deformation process was performed in one step, what was the yield stress of your brass after reduction?
b) Again assuming one step, what was the force applied to your specimen (in N) at the very end of the reduction process? assume you applied just enough force to make the material yield.
c) If your deformation equipment is apply to apply a force of 35,000 N to your specimen, could you accomplish your deformation process in one step? Please explain your answer.
d) If you cannot accomplish your deformation process in one step, what must you do to reduce the diameter of the brass rod to 1.128 cm?
