Chapter 6 Flashcards
Destructive testing
render the test material useless for services - loaded to failure
Strength
the ability to of a material to withstand an applied load
Tensile Strength
two types
the ability of a metal to resist failure when subject to tensile or pulling load.
Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength
Shear
a ductile mode of failure
Torsional Strength
a twisting or rotation force (strength)
impact Strength
same as Notch toughness - dependent on geometry
Fatigue Strength
Cyclic or repeated mechanical action on a member till failure
Ultimate tensile strength (UTS)
The maximum load-carrying capacity of that metal at the exact point when failure occurs
Elasticity
the deformation os a metal under load which causes no permanent deformation when the load is removed
- no permanent defamation or “set”
Plastic
when a metal is stressed beyond its elastic limit
-permanent defamation or “set”
Yield point / yield strength
the point at which a material’s behavior changes from elastic to plastic is referred to as its yield point.
- used for the maximum load for structures
As temp increases strength ?
decreases
The harder a metal the tensile strength
increases and vice versa
Tensile testing
must have the following 3 features
Two common shapes of specimen
Uses a reduced section that is intended to localize failure
- uniform cross section
- Easily measured to a cross sectional area can be calculated
- Free from surface irregularities
two most common type are CIRCULAR & RECTANGULAR
Toughness
a measure of a metal’s ability to absorb energy
usually as slow rate
toughness properties values only have meaning with temperature information.
Ductility
Temp change?
opposite of ductile is?
Expressed in two ways?
the ability of a material to deform, or stretch, under load without failing.
Directly related to temperature
ductility increases at higher temps and decrease at higher temps
opposite of ductile is brittle
Percent elongation and percent reduction of area
