    The missing stresses in the question:

    Engineering Engineering strain

    Stress (MpA)

    235 0.194

    250 0.296

    Answer:

    σ = 245MPa

    Explanation:

    For this problem, we first need to convert engineering stresses and strains to true stresses and strains so that the constants K and n may be determined. Since σT = σ (1 + ε)

    So,

    σT1 = (235 MPa) (1 + 0.94) = 280 MPa

    σT2 = (250 MPa) (1 + 0.296) = 324MPa

    Similarly for strains, since;

    εT = ln (1 + ε)

    Thus;

    ε T1 = ln (1 + 0.194) = 0.177

    εT2 = ln (1 + 0.296) = 0.259

    We know that true stress;

    σε = (σT/K) ^ (1/n)

    So taking log of both sides, to get;

    log σT = log K + n log εT

    which allows us to set up two simultaneous equations for the above pairs of true stresses and true strains, with K and

    n as unknowns.

    Thus,

    log (280) = log K + n log (0.177)

    and

    log (324) = log K + n log (0.259)

    Solving both log equations simultaneously, we get;

    K = 543 MPa and n = 0.383

    Now converting, ε to true strain;

    ε T = ln (1 + 0.25) = 0.223

    From the true stress equation earlier quoted, we'll make σT the subject and get;

    σT = (εT^n) x k

    σT = 543 x (0.223^ (0.383)) = 306 MPa

    Now converting this value of σT

    to an engineering stress using the first equation quoted in this answer, gives;

    σ = σT / (1 + ε) = 306 / (1+0.25) = 245MPa
