force/area
stress
dimensional change
strain
3 types of stress?
tensile, compressive, shear
explain tensile
pulling in opposite directions
explain compressive
pushing in same direction
explain shear
sliding against
materials usually work best under what type os stress
compressive
materials preform lowest strength values under what type of stress?
tensile
definition of torque?
radius x force
what is elastic deformation?
how much can be absorbed before deforming
what is ultimate strength?
when material permanently changes shape
modulus of elasticity is demonstrated how?
by the slope on the stress/strain curve. higher the slope= stiffer the material. lower the slope= more it will change dimensions under stress
fractures occur at what point along the stress vs strain curve?
ultimate strength
is metal ductile or brittle?
ductile
high stiffness & too brittle explains what material?
ceramics
low stiffness & too flexable explains what material?
composites
problem with characteristics of ceramics?
no resilience, causing catastrophic failure
problem with composites
sensitivity and de bonding
