A wood specimen was prepared with actual dimensions of 25 mm * 25 mm *150 mm and grain parallel to its length. Displacement was measured over a100 mm gauge length. The specimen was subjected to compression parallel to the grain to failure. The load–deformation results are as shown in Table P10.24. a. Using a computer spreadsheet program, plot the stress–strain relationship.b. Calculate the modulus of elasticity.c. What is the failure stress?
Q.2. The stress-strain diagram of a reinforcement steel having a cross-sectional diameter of 12 mm diameter and 100 mm gage length is determined after its tensile strength test as follows. Based on the stress- strain diagram determine the followings properties of the material (Poisson's ratio of the material is 0.32) : 600 a) Modulus of elasticity 550 500 b) Yield strength 450 c) Toughness 400 350 d) Resilience 300 e) Shear modulus 250 200 f) Bulk modulus 150 g) Ductility as described by 100 percent change in length 50 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07 0.08 0.09 0.1 0.11 0.12 0.13 0.14 0.15 0.16 0.17 0.18 Strain Note: Show your methods and calculations clearly.

A wood beam is strengthened using two steel plates as shown in the figure below. *Inserted Photo* The beam has simple supports and an overhang and is subjected to a point load and a uniform load as shown in the figure below.   Calculate the maximum tensile and compressive stresses of the beam. Assume that Ew = 11 GPa and Es = 200 GPa. (Enter your answers in MPa. Use the deformation sign convention.) maximum tensile stress in wood ? MPa maximum tensile stress in steel  ? MPa maximum compressive stress in wood ? MPa maximum compressive stress in steel  ? MPa
