Engineering
three different materials, designated a, b, and c, are tested in tension using test specimens hav- ing diameters of 0.505 in. and gage lengths of 2.0 in. (see figure). at failure, the distances between the gage marks are found to be 2.13, 2.48, and 2.78 in., respec- tively. also, at the failure cross sections, the diameters are found to be 0.484, 0.398, and 0.253 in., respectively. determine the percent elongation and percent reduction in area of each specimen. using your own judgment, classify each material as brittle or ductile.
