4- A ductile metal wire of uniform cross-section is loaded in tension until it just begins to neck. The curve of true stress ? vs. true strain ? for this wire approximates to: ?=235?0.37MPa a- Assuming that the volume is conserved, derive a differential equation relating the true stress to the true strain at the point of necking. b- Estimate the ultimate tensile strength of the metal and the work required to take 0.1m3 of the wire to necking.
