C5 Mechanical properties Flashcards
4 type of mechanical properties
- strength
- hardness
- ductility
- stiffness
how mechanical properties use to understand material
two type
- deformation
- break
elobrate
deformation
3 types
- elongation
- compress
- twist
explain how
Metal response to external load
3 ways
- stress & strain
- elastic deformation
- plastic deformation
how
Stress & strain response to external load
4 ways
- tension
- compression
- shear
- torsion
explain
Elastic deformation
-deformation is recoverable
-temporary deformation disappears after removal of the applied forces
plastic deformation
-stays even after removal of the applied forces
-permanent deformation is irreversible
explain
stress
- force acting per unit area over which the force is applied
- unit Pa @ Psi
explain
Strain
- Change in dimension per unit lenght
- cm/cm
what it does
Tensile
causing elongation
what it does
compression
causing shortening
in stress (y-axis) vs strain (x-axis) graf, what does slope mean
slope = Young modulus / modulus elasticity
hooke’s law
used for elastic deform
- “When an object has a relatively small deformation, the size of the deformation is directly proportional to the deforming load or force.”
- Fₛ = kx
in graph, where is the elastic limit
at the end of straight line
in graph, where is the tensile strength
at the curve line, the highest point
