Materials Flashcards
1
Q
Hooke’s Law
A
Applied force is directly proportional to the extension
F = kx
2
Q
Stress
A
Force / Area
3
Q
Strain
A
Extension / Original length
4
Q
Ultimate tensile stress
A
Greatest amount of stress that a material can withstand before reaching breaking point
5
Q
Young’s Modulus
A
Tensile stress / Tensile strain
6
Q
Ductile
A
Material that can be easily drawn into wires
7
Q
Elastic deformation
A
Material returns to its original shape after the force is removed
8
Q
Plastic deformation
A
Material does not return to its original shape after force is removed
