The flow stress (σ) of an alloy varies with strain rate $$\left( \in \right)$$ as σ = 100 $${\left( \in \right)^{0.1}}$$ MPa. When the alloy is hot extruded from 10cm diameter to 5 cm diameter at a speed of 2 cm/s, the flow stress is

In a tensile test of ductile material, necking starts at

A metallic sheet 1 m wide and 10 mm thick is to be rolled under a front tension force of 100 KN. A specimen from the sheet, tested under tension, shows a yield stress of 100 MPa. Assume plain strain condition during rolling and ignore the friction. If yielding is assumed to start at a roll pressure of σ3 MPa, then the stress in the width direction (where strain is zero) is
