A tensile test was performed on a specimen made of medium carbon steel. It was determined that it has a yield strength of Sy?=58kpsi, ultimate strength Sut?=90kpsi, strength strengthening coefficient ?0?=140 kpsi, strain strengthening exponent m=0.14, and true strain at fracture ?f?=0.57. Another specimen made of the same material has been subjected to a tensile load that caused such plastic deformation so that its diameter has been reduced by 2%(ddef ?=0.98d0?). Estimate the values of expected yield and ultimate strengths that are obtained from the cold working operation. Figure 1: Tension test specimen geometry.
