For a specimen of 1020 steel with the stress-strain diagram shown in Figure 6.17, calculate the maximum load-carrying capacity for a standard tensile test specimen as shown in Figure 6.15a.
What will be an ideal response?
Assume that an interionic pair potential between K+ and Cl– ions can be approximated by Equation 2.15. Assume that the repulsive ion core interactions can be modeled with a power of m=12. Experimentally it has been determined that the energy to separate one pair of K+ and Cl– ions is 5.0 eV, and that the equilibrium interionic separation is equal to 0.266 nm. Use this experimental data to determine the value of B for an ion pair. Use the SI system of units for this problem.
