1In the tensile test (Zugversuch), the tensile strength Rm of a steel specimen is calculated from which two quantities?
A.The maximum force reached during the test divided by the original cross-sectional area S0
B.The force at the moment of fracture divided by the reduced cross-sectional area at the neck
C.The maximum force reached divided by the original gauge length L0
D.The force at 0.2 % permanent elongation divided by the original cross-sectional area S0
Explanation: Rm = Fm / S0. The standard deliberately refers every stress value back to the ORIGINAL cross-section S0, which is why the engineering stress-strain curve drops after necking even though the true stress in the neck keeps rising.
2Which value is normally used as the modulus of elasticity (Elastizitätsmodul) of structural steel S235 in engineering calculations?
A.70 000 N/mm²
B.210 000 N/mm²
C.21 000 N/mm²
D.2 100 N/mm²
Explanation: E ≈ 210 000 N/mm² (210 GPa) for all common structural steels. It links stress and strain in Hooke's law σ = E · ε and is essentially independent of the steel grade — S235 and S355 have the same stiffness but different yield strengths.
3A round steel tie bar with a diameter of 20 mm carries an axial tensile force of 62.8 kN. What is the normal stress in the bar?
A.≈ 100 N/mm²
B.≈ 157 N/mm²
C.≈ 200 N/mm²
D.≈ 3 140 N/mm²
Explanation: S = π/4 · d² = π/4 · 20² = 314.2 mm². σ = F/S = 62 800 N / 314.2 mm² ≈ 200 N/mm². For S235 (Re = 235 N/mm²) this bar is already close to the yield point.
4A steel rod of length 2 500 mm and cross-section 200 mm² is loaded with 42 kN. With E = 210 000 N/mm², how much does it elongate elastically?
A.2.5 mm
B.0.25 mm
C.25 mm
D.1.0 mm
Explanation: σ = F/S = 42 000/200 = 210 N/mm². ε = σ/E = 210/210 000 = 0.001. ΔL = ε · L = 0.001 · 2 500 mm = 2.5 mm. Equivalently ΔL = F·L/(E·S).
5In the steel designation S235JR, what does the number 235 specify?
A.The tensile strength Rm in N/mm²
B.The minimum yield strength Re in N/mm² for the smallest thickness range
C.The carbon content in hundredths of a percent
D.The maximum permissible service temperature in °C
Explanation: In the S-designation system (EN 10027-1) the letter S stands for Stahlbau (structural steel) and the number gives the minimum yield strength in N/mm². JR describes the impact-toughness class (27 J at room temperature).
6Which indenter is used in the Vickers hardness test (Härteprüfung nach Vickers)?
A.A hardened steel or tungsten-carbide ball
B.A diamond cone with a 120° included angle
C.A square-based diamond pyramid with a 136° included angle
D.A flat-ended cylindrical steel punch
Explanation: Vickers (HV) uses a square-based diamond pyramid with an included angle of 136°. Because the impression is geometrically similar at every load, the HV number is essentially load-independent, which is why Vickers covers soft and very hard materials with one scale.
7A cube of an unknown metal measuring 40 mm × 40 mm × 40 mm has a mass of 172.8 g. Which metal is it most likely to be?
A.Aluminium (ρ ≈ 2.7 g/cm³)
B.Steel (ρ ≈ 7.85 g/cm³)
C.Copper (ρ ≈ 8.9 g/cm³)
D.Magnesium (ρ ≈ 1.74 g/cm³)
Explanation: V = 4 cm × 4 cm × 4 cm = 64 cm³. ρ = m/V = 172.8 g / 64 cm³ = 2.70 g/cm³, which matches aluminium.
8A galvanised (zinc-coated) steel sheet is scratched down to the bare steel. Why does the steel still not rust at the scratch?
A.The zinc layer flows into the scratch and seals it mechanically
B.Zinc is less noble than iron, so it becomes the anode and corrodes preferentially, protecting the steel cathodically
C.Zinc is more noble than iron and therefore protects it as a cathode
D.The zinc raises the carbon content of the steel locally, making it corrosion resistant
Explanation: In the electrochemical series zinc (≈ −0.76 V) is less noble than iron (≈ −0.44 V). In the presence of an electrolyte the zinc dissolves as the sacrificial anode and the exposed steel becomes the cathode, where no metal dissolution occurs. This active (cathodic) protection is why galvanising still works at cut edges and scratches.
9Below approximately which wood moisture content does solid timber begin to shrink (schwinden)?
A.About 5 %
B.About 12 %
C.About 30 %, the fibre saturation point (Fasersättigungsbereich)
D.About 60 %
Explanation: Above the fibre saturation point (roughly 30 % moisture content) the extra water sits as free water in the cell cavities and has no effect on dimensions. Only when bound water starts leaving the cell walls, below about 30 %, does the timber shrink — and swell again when it takes moisture back up.
10In which direction does solid timber shrink the most as it dries?
A.Tangential, i.e. along the growth rings
B.Radial, i.e. from pith to bark
C.Axial/longitudinal, i.e. along the grain
D.Equally in all three directions
Explanation: Typical shrinkage from fibre saturation to oven-dry is roughly 8 % tangential, 4 % radial and only 0.1–0.3 % longitudinal. Tangential shrinkage is about twice the radial value, which is why boards cup away from the pith and why heart-free, quarter-sawn timber is used where dimensional stability matters.
