EXAMPLE 2.5.1. DEFORMATION DUE TO A LOAD

A 1/4-inch diameter steel wire is subjected to 600-lb of tensile load. Knowing that  and length of wire = 5ft, determine:

  1. The elongation of the wire
  2. The corresponding normal stress
The elongation of the wire is simply its deformation, which is determined from the given formula:

                                   





The normal stress is computed as follows:
