21
Q

What axis is stress and strain located on?

A

Strain is on the X axis and stress is on the Y axis

22
Q

Where is irreversible strain found on a graph?

A

Below A

23
Q

What is the elastic region (E)?

A

The region below A where reversible strain occurs

24
Q

What is the plastic region?

A

The region above A where strain is irreversible or permanent

25
Q

What is the elastic limit?

A

The greatest stress sustained without permanent deformation. Can also be termed proportional limit.

26
Q

Define yield strength:

A

The stress at which the material begins to function in a plastic manner. Limited permanent strain has occurred. Amount of permanent strain is given by an arbitrary 0.2%.

27
Q

Define Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS):

A

Maximum stress that a material can withstand in tension

28
Q

Define Ultimate Compression Strength (UCS):

A

Maximum stress that a material can withstand in compression

29
Q

Define Fracture Strength (Sf):

A

Stress at which a brittle material fractures.

30
Q

What is true of US and Sf for alloys and ceramics?

A

US and Sf tend to be equal for alloys and ceramics

31
Q

Define Elongation:

A

Deformation that results from the application of tensile force. 0-A = below proportional limit = deformation not permanent A-D = plastic elongation = permanent deformation

32
Q

What does elongation signify?

A

The workability of an alloy

33
Q

Greater elongation signifies what?

A

Ductility

34
Q

Shorter elongation signifies what?

A

Brittleness

35
Q

Define Elastic Modulus or Young’s Modulus (E)

A

Measure of elasticity. Represent the measure of stiffness of a material within the elastic region. The slope of the S/S curve in the elastic region.

36
Q

What forces are responsible for the property of elasticity?

A

Interatomic/Intermolecular forces. The stronger the forces the greater the stiffness/rigidity

37
Q

What E value would you expect of Elastomers/Polymers versus Metals/Ceramics?

A

Low versus high

38
Q

Define resilience:

A

Resistance of a material to permanent deformation. Area under the elastic portion that indicates the amount of energy needed to deform a material to the proportional limit.

39
Q

Define toughness:

A

Resistance of a material to fracture. Indicates the amount of energy needed to cause fracture. Signified by the area under the elastic and plastic area.

40
Q

Define fracture toughness:

A

Defects generally weaken a material and may result in fractures at stresses well below the yield stress. Larger the flaw the less stress is needed to cause fracture.

41
Q

Define the diametral compression test

A

The diametral test uses compression to produce tensile forces. Load is increased until fracture occurs. Good test for brittle materials. Used because tensile properties of brittle materials are hard to measure.

42
Q

Which is a smaller property in brittle material Elastic or Plastic?

A

Plastic

43
Q

Define fatigue strength:

A

The stress at which a material fails under repeated loading. Depends on magnitude of the load and the number of loadings.

44
Q

Define endurance limit:

A

Stress at which the material can be loaded an infinite number of times without failing.

45
Q

Define viscoelasticity:

A

Rate of loading. Increasing the loading rate produces different S/S curves with higher values for E, PL, US.

46
Q

Material with mechanical properties dependent on loading rate are termed what?

A

Viscoelactic

47
Q

What two properties do viscoeleastics have?

A

Properties of elastic solids and viscous fluids.

48
Q

Define viscosity:

A

The resistance of a fluid to flow. Units of viscosity = Poise or centipoise

49
Q

Define stress relaxation:

A

Reduction of stress in a material subjected to constant strain (ortho bands)

50
Q

Define creep:

A

Increase in strain in material under constant stress (amalgam)

51
Q

Define tear strength:

A

Resistance to tearing forces. Important for polymers in thin sections. Depends on rate of loading. Rapid loading = Higher Values
