- Hi, I am having trouble understanding this scenario and any help would be very appreciated. :) I have three bars of 6061 aluminium alloy and I want to two graphs showing all of their performances. The three bars have the data as follows; Bar 1: Cross Sectional Area = 10 mm2 Length = 40 cm Bar 2: Cross Sectional Area = 20 mm2 Length = 40 cm Bar 3: Cross Sectional Area = 10 mm2 Length = 70 cm (a) how would I make a graph showing the three bars' structural performance in tension? (b) how would I make a graph showing the three bars' performance in tension till their yield? Any help would really be appreciated thank you!arrow_forwardFor steel: E = 200 x 109 N/m3 α = 11.7 μm/(m-°C) For aluminum: E = 70 x 109 N/m3 α = 23 μm/(m-°C) SHow your complete solution.arrow_forward1.
