A paper clip is made of wire 0.75 mm in diameter. If the original material from which the wire is made is a rod 25 mm in diameter, calculate the longitudinal engineering and true strains that the wire has undergone during processing.

Draw the engineering stress-strain curve for (a) bcc; (b) fcc metals and mark important points.

Describe one experiment in which the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of a totally amorphous thermoplastic material can be determined. show the relevant experimental results in a diagram which should be properly annotated with the two temperatures clearly marked. what is likely to happen to the curve in the diagram if the amorphous polymer is replaced by a thermosetting type?

What are the major differences between injection molding and extrusion?
