The engineering stress-strain curve for annealed polycrystalline Cu is shown below.
a. Is annealed polycrystalline copper a material that work hardens significantly or a material that exhibits a low work-hardening rate? Explain your answer.
b. Suppose this Cu were loaded to a stress of 150 MN/m2, and then the load were removed. How much strain would be recovered on unloading? (For Cu, E = 11.1 X 1010 N/m2.)
c. Suppose the unloaded sample were left on a table in the laboratory. A student comes into the laboratory and measures the yield strength of this material. What would the student quote for the value of this yield strength?
