25
large strain
–yield stress | –tensile strength
26
isotropy
– properties of material are independent of direction or orientation
27
homogeneity
properties do not vary from location to location in material
28
incompressibility
– constant density (no volume changes)
29
creep
– keep the applied stress constant | – strain of the material changes (goes up and curves over and down)
30
stress relaxation
–keep strain constant | --stress needed to keep the material at that strain value lowers
31
hardness
– resistantce to point loading (indentation damage)
32
normal stress formula
stress = force/area
33
normal strain formula
strain = change in length/length
34
rigidity
– Relative stiffness of a material that allows it to resist bending
35
ashby chart
– young's modulus vs density
36
hydrostatic stress
– stress is equal in all directions
37
shear modulus symbol and alternate name?
–modulus of rigidity (G)
38
bulk modulus symbol?
K
39
poisson's ratio
–normal stress results in normal and lateral strains –within the elastic limit the ratios of these are: v = -(lateral strain)/(normal stress)
40
anisotropic
–21 independent elastic constants | –different behaviour in all orientations and directions
41
orthotropic
– 9 independent elastic constants | –material symmetry in three mutually perpendicular planes
42
transversely isotropic
– 5 independent elastic constants | –material symmetry in one plane
43
isotropic
– 2 independent elastic constants | – same behaviour in all orientations and directions
44
plane stress
stress whereby one normal stress and associated shear stresses are 0
45
plane strain
strain whereby one normal strain and associated shear strains are assumed to be zero
46
Tresca Failure Theory
– used to predict yielding and is applicable to ductile materials –max shear stress in a material reaches a value of max shear stress that would be observed when yielding occurs –hexagon – static loading
47
von Mieses Failure Theory
– used to predict yielding and is applicable for ductile materials –occurs when the root mean square of the difference between the principal stresses is equal to the yield of the material established by a simple tension test –ellipse –static loading
48
Rankine's failure theory
– used for brittle materials | –static loading
49
safety factor
SF = ultimate stress/permitted stress –safety factor of a hip implant is 1 –safety factor of a car is 3
50
static strength
ability to resist a short term steady load at normal room temperature
51
fatigue strength
ability to resist a fluctuating/time variable load
52
creep strength
ability to resist a load at temperatures high enough for the load to produce a progressive change in dimensions over an extended period of time
53
toughness
resistance to brittle fracture
54
brittle fracture
fast, low-energy, occurs at a stress level below that required to produce yielding across the whole cross-section
55
tough fracture
slow, high-energy, occurs at a stress level equal to that required to produce yielding across the whole cross section
56
stiffness
ability of a structure to maintain its shape when loaded
57
fatigue strength
the amplitude (or range) of cyclic stress that can be applied to the material without causing fatigue failure.
58
endurance/fatigue limit
same as fatigue strength
59
assumptions for a uniformly loaded thin shell
–thin (diameter less than thickness) –uniform pressure loading –no resistance in bending
60
pure bending
constant bending moment along the length
61
stable equilibrium
– a small disturbance is applied, the mechanical system has the tendency to restore its initial position restoring moment>displacing moment
62
unstable equilibrium
– small disturbance is applied the mechanical system has the tendency to move/accelerate towards the same direction as the disturbance restoring moment
63
critical condition
restoring moment ≠ displacing moment the load is the critical load
