Lecture 5 elastic region Flashcards
tensile testing is
fundamental test used to extract key properties of materials
specimens shape in tensile testing and why
dogbone shape - ends larger than middle - localize stress into the centre of the piece and not be affected by the gripping of the materiel
how is tensile testing done
two dots placed on specimen distance measured this
record the extension in the specimen gives the strain measure forced required gives stress
gauge length is the
distance between the two dots during tensile testing
loading occurs
via load cell with moving cross head - move top head up specimen clamped between two clamps
other properties measured in tensile testing
elongation after fraction - tells us about plastic deformation
gauge length at failure - another measure of ductility
engineering stress strain graph regions
elastic region - underneath straight line
uniform plastic region yielding - before UTS
nonuniform plastic region necking after UTS
elastic region
pulling bonds slightly then letting material go so it returns to its original shape
yeilding region
begin to break bonds between material such that it begins to flow - plastic deformation
necking region
localise stresses begin to occur failure
bond strength defines the
elastic region allows us to define anumber of elastic modula
what is an inset graph
due to sharp rise in stresses with little increase in strain during the elastic region on a normal stress strain graph you can not see the elastic region therefore have smaller graph showing just that region
stress
force /area
strain
change over length / length
if use original length of sample
engineering stress and strain inital length and cross sectional area
tensile stress vs compressive stress
just negative tensile materiel gets longer and thinner
compressive makes material get shorter and fatter
shear stress
applying force parallel to surface
