Q

How do stress and strain relate?

A

atomic bonds act like springs during elastic deformation

Spring constant, slope intercept form and stress strain relationship are all linear
F = kx
y = mx
stress = E strain

Q

Describe the Modulus of Elasticity

*what does it describe
*how does it relate to bonding
*how can we use the bond energy graphs to provide context

A

measures the stiffness or strength of bond

EM depends on interatomic bonding forces

EM proportional to slope of interatomic force

stress affects bond length causing bonds to ‘rock’ between the two paths. Ultimately, return to equilibrium

strongly bonded - larger E
weakly bonded - smaller E

Q

How does the strength of the bonds in metals compare with the strength of the bonds in ceramics and polymers?

A

Ceramics - ionic or covalent = LARGE EM
Metals - metallic bonding = MIDDLE-LARGE EM
Polymers - covalent and weak secondary forces = SMALL EM

Q

Give relative values for
ceramics
metals
polymers
for Poisson’s Ratio. What does this tell us about the bonds in these materials?

A

*relatively equal stretching in both directions
ceramics v = 0.25
metals v = 0.33
polymers v = 0.40
*relatively larger stretching in one direction compared to another direction

17
Q

Describe what is going on in the plastic region (in regards to bonds) for a metal.

A

During plastic deformation, bonds are stretched to the point where they snap. This is gradual
Metallic bonds can reform if slid over by one unit/one level. The result is that bonds are formed to different atoms

18
Q

Draw a stress-strain curve for a metal

A
19
Q

What is yield strength?

A

stress at which noticeable plastic deformation has occurred

ep = 0.002

20
Q

Describe the differences between ceramic and metal stress strain curves

A

ceramics are more brittle than metals.
Covalent: highly directional with few close packed planes, few slip systems
ionic: few slip systems, resistance to motion of ions of like charge past one another

therefore, ceramics don’t really have a yield strength. ceramics go elastic to broken. once stretched too far they shatter

21
Q

What is the tensile strength?

A

maximum possible stress you can apply to a material
after which, necking develops

22
Q

What is ductility

A

Amount of plastic (ONLY PLASTIC, IGNORE ELASTIC) deformation at failure

23
Q

How is ductility measured?

also how is it measured on the stress strain curve?

A

ductility is the amount of plastic deformation at failure

  1. measure initial length
  2. measure length after failure after unloading

percent elongation

24
Q

What is resilience?

A

amount of energy a material can take before permanently deforming

amount of energy a material can absorb during elasitc deformation

25
Q

What is toughness?

A

Amount of energy absorbed before fracture

area under the stress-strain curve

26
Q

Toughness for

ceramics
metals
polymers

A

small
ceramics
polymers

larger
metals

27
Q

Identify the points on a stress strain curve

Plastic Regime
Elastic Regime
Yield Point
Tensile Strength
Ductility
Resilience
Toughness

A
28
Q

Relative stress strain curves for

Ceramics
Metals
Polymers

A
29
Q

What is engineering stress?

A

Measure the area once and assume the area never changes. This is not representative of reality. Area actually decreases.

30
Q

draw the stress strain curves for the following.

brittle polymer
plastic
elastomer

A
31
Q

Compare the relative magnitude of stress and strain for ;
metals
polymers
ceramics

A
32
Q

Describe the influence of T on Thermoplastics

A

decreasing temp

increases elastic modulus
increases TS
decreses %EL
increases brittleness

33
Q

Describe the influence of increasing strain rates (speed of force) on Thermoplastics

A

same as decreasing T

increases elastic modulus
increases TS
decreses %EL
increases brittleness

34
Q

How are ductility and temperature related?

A

as temperature increases, less mechanical energy is needed to break bonds

increase in temp increases ductility

35
Q

Draw an elastomere stress strain curve and describe the parts

A

shallow region: can adapt to large strains by adopting different configurations with minimal puling on the bonds (basically unravel to adopt a longer length until they cannot unravel any longer) GREATER ENTROPY

steep region:pulling against strong covalent bonds LESS ENTROPY

36
Q

How would the stress strain curve look like for the following polymers
linear
branched
cross linked
networked

A

BRITTLE POLYMERS: cross-linked and network polymers

plastic polymers: behave like metals

37
Q

Describe how a tensile test works
What is a tensile test used for?

A

stretch material

tells us about elastic regions
doesn’t tell us about plastic regions or elastic regions for brittle materials

38
Q

describe how a 3 point bending test works
what does it tell us about?

A

good for brittle materials, tells us about the elastic modulus

39
Q

describe how a hardness test works

A

resistance to plastic deformation on the surface (scratch or dent)

40
