Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the material's toughness in terms of energy absorbed, we need to calculate the area under the stress-strain curve up to the point of fracture. The energy absorbed is equal to the area under the curve.
Given:
Cross-sectional area (A) = 0.004 m²
Load (F) = 380 kN = 380,000 N
Young's modulus (E) = 200 GPa = 200,000 MPa = 200,000,000 N/m²
First, we need to calculate the stress (σ) using the formula:
σ = F / A
σ = 380,000 N / 0.004 m²
σ = 95,000,000 N/m² = 95 MPa
Next, we need to determine the strain (ε) using Hooke's law:
ε = σ / E
ε = 95,000,000 N/m² / 200,000,000 N/m²
ε = 0.475
Now, we can calculate the energy absorbed (U) using the formula:
U = 0.5 * σ * ε * A
U = 0.5 * 95,000,000 N/m² * 0.475 * 0.004 m²
U = 90,250 J = 90.25 kJ
Therefore, the material's toughness in terms of energy absorbed is 90.25 kJ.
