We feel that it is harder to bend the copper tube back to the original straight-line shape than to
bend it over initially because of the strain hardening effect. During this process, some material
properties at the bent location are changed.
The tensile strength of the copper tube at the bent location will be __________.
Increased
Decreased - ANS-increased, strain hardening
,Continue with the "copper tube bending" question described in Questions 9. The Young's
modulus of the copper tube at the bent location will be ___________.
increased, decreased, the same - ANS-The Same.
The Young's modulus (E) is a property of the material that tells us how easily it can stretch and
deform and is defined as the ratio of tensile stress (σ) to tensile strain (ε).
Continue with the "copper tube bending" question described in Questions 9. The ductility of the
copper tube at the bent location will be __________.
Increased, decreased, the same - ANS-decrease, ductility is how easy something is
bent/deformed

described in Questions 9.
Plastic deformation
elastic deformation

ANS-decreases
Young's modulus is one of the ___________ of an engineering material.
physical or material properties - ANS-Material

Low Carbon steel
Aluminium Alloys - ANS-Aluminium Alloys
lease examine the two steel grain microstructures after rolling processes (the lines in these

microstructure; whereas, __________ shows a cold-rolled steel grain microstructure.
, A shows large sections of material and Material B shows smaller, and more stratified material -
ANS-(A) A is hot-rolled steel and B is cold-rolled steel
The gateway arch at St. Louis is made from stainless steel (the cross-section has a triangular
shape). Imagining several ideas are proposed to make the structure less stiff if another arch
were to be built so visitors could feel more "swing" at the observation area at the top. You are to
judge (using the knowledge you have learned from IMSE 250) if each idea would help to
increase the "swing".
