    Is 55,059 PSI a Safe Tensile Stress Level for Steel Wires?

    thanks guys. my prof likes to be as vague as possible and not give me the UTS value.

    Max temp range allowed that's still in range of tolerance?

    -0.001 = 24.002" (4.8 x 10^-6)(Tf - 80) Tf = 71.32 F

    Max temp range allowed that's still in range of tolerance?

    -0.001 = 23.998" (4.8 x 10^-6)(Tf - 80) Tf = 71.32 F thanks!

    Max temp range allowed that's still in range of tolerance?

    thermal expansion = .001? 0.001 = 24.002" (4.8 x 10^-6)(Tf - 80) Tf = 88.679? 0.001 = 23.998" (4.8 x 10^-6)(Tf - 80) Tf = 88.33?

    Max temp range allowed that's still in range of tolerance?

    0.003 = 23.997" (4.8 x 10^-6)(Tf - 80) Tf = 106.04 0.003 = 24.003" (4.8 x 10^-6)(Tf - 80) Tf = 106.038 0.002 = 24.002" (4.8 x 10^-6)(Tf - 80) Tf = 97.3597 0.002 = 23.998" (4.8 x 10^-6)(Tf - 80) Tf = 97.3625 so the range would be from 97 F - 106 F?

    Is 55,059 PSI a Safe Tensile Stress Level for Steel Wires?

    oh yea my mistake. i meant tensile stress = 1000/A = 55,059 psi. i looked it up and i found 40,000 psi for ultimate tensile stress of steel stranded wire. is that correct?
