Q

Tensile Strain?

A

Tensile Strain is defined as the change in length divided by the original length of the material

36
Q

Tensile Strain Formula?

A

Tensile Strain = ΔL / L
Strain = Change in Length / Original Length

37
Q

Atom Behavior in breaking stress?

A

The greater tensile force the more stress occurs. This causes the atoms to pull apart from each other. The stress becomes so great atoms separate completely and the material breaks

38
Q

Breaking Stress?

A

The stress at which a material breaks

39
Q

Ultimate Tensile Stress?

A

The maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking

40
Q

Graphing Stress and Strain trends?

A

Breaking stress is the end of the curve on a stress-strain graph. The ultimate tensile stress is the last point stress and strain are increasing

41
Q

Elastic Strain Energy?

A

When a material is stretched work has been done in stretching the material. Before the elastic limit all work done is stored as potential energy in the material

42
Q

Elastic Strain Energy on a Force-Extension Graph?

A

The area under the graph is the elastic strain energy inside the material and this energy can be worked out if the material obeys Hooke’s Law

43
Q

Elastic Potential Energy Trends?

A

The energy stored by the stretched material is equal to the work done on stretching the materiel if the material obeys Hooke’s Law

44
Q

Work Done?

A

This is equal to the force multiplied by the displacement of an object

45
Q

Force on a force-extension trend?

A

Force acting on a material is not a constant value. This means the average force acting on the material needs to be calculated

46
Q

Energy on a Force-Extension Graph?

A

The area under the graph from the origin to the extension is energy if the material obeys Hooke’s Law. The area represents energy stored otherwise the work done which is referred to as elastic strain energy

47
Q

Hooke’s Law affect on force?

A

Because Hooke’s Law is obeyed the force can be substituted into the change in length, force, spring constant equation

48
Q

Energy effect on atoms?

A

If the material goes past its elastic limit some work done is used changing the position of the atoms. The energy will not be stored as strain energy so isn’t available when the force is released as its used to reposition the atoms

49
Q

Elastic Potential Energy Equation?

A

Work Done = 1/2 x Force x Change in Length
W = 1/2 x F x ΔL
Energy = 1/2 x Spring Constant x Extension ^2
Energy = 1/2 x k x ΔL^2

50
Q

Energy Conservation in deformation?

A

Energy is always conserved whilst stretching. A material being stretched has work done stored as elastic strain energy in the material. The removal of the stretching force transfers the elastic strain energy to other forms

51
Q

Energy and Plastic Deformation?

A

If deformation is plastic work done is used to separate the atoms. Plastic deformation doesn’t have energy stored as strain energy so dissipates the energy through other forms but most often as heat

52
Q

Energy Store behavior in elastic spring deformation?

A

A vertical spring with a mass below has elastic strain energy stored. The mass released causes the energy store to transition into kinetic energy. The spring contracting turns the energy stored then into gravitational potential energy. The spring compressing again reverts it back into kinetic energy where it ends up back again as elastic strain energy

53
Q

Energy in safety?

A

The dissipation of energy in plastic deformation is used to design safer vehicles and an example of these is crumple zones

54
Q

Crumple Zones?

A

A requirement of modern vehicles to reduce impact upon occupants. This is done by energy of impact being used to transform shape of the car so less energy is transferred inside the car reducing risk to passengers as the energy impact they endure is now lower

55
Q

Stress and Strain relationship with limit of proportioanlity?

A

When load is applied to a stretched material it experiences a tensile stress and strain and when these are proportional to each other it is the limit of proportionality

56
Q

Young’s Modulus?

A

Has the symbol E and is located below the limit of proportionality for a particular material where the stress divided by strain is constant

57
Q

Young’s Modulus Equation?

A

E = FL / ΔL
Young’s Modulus = Tensile Stress/ Tensile Strain

58
Q

Units in Young’s Modulus Equation?

A

Strain has no units so Young’s Modulus takes the units of Strain. Young’s Modulus has the units Nm^-2 or Pa. Force in Young’s Modulus equation is measured in Newtons and cross-sectional area in m^2

59
Q

Conditions for Young’s Modulus Investigation?

A

A thin and long wire has higher extension for the same force and also a lower uncertainty. Cross-sectional area is found using a micrometer by finding diameter at several points and putting average reading into circle formula. Straighten wire by adding and removing weight and allow weights to hang off surface.

60
Q

Method for Young’s Modulus Investigation?

A

Measure distance between end of wire and marker to work out distance of unstretched wire. Add regular intervals of weight and record the amount of weight suspended and the extension from the change in marker position. Calculate stress and strain of these results after a suitable amount obtained and plot a stress-strain curve

61
Q

Stress-Strain Graph trends?

A

The gradient is the Young’s Modulus. The area under the graph is the strain energy per unit volume

62
Q

Strain Energy Per Unit Volume?

A

The energy stored in 1m^3 of a wire

63
Q

Stress-Strain Graphs and Hooke’s Law?

A

The stress-strain graph has a straight line relationship if Hooke’s Law is obeyed

64
Q

Strain energy per unit volume equation?

A

Energy Per Unit Volume = 1/2 x stress x strain

65
Q

Limit of Proportionality trends?

A

After the limit of proportionality an object could still potentially return to its original shape and size when stress is removed

66
Q

Gradient behaviour on stress-strain graphs?

A

Obeying Hooke’s law has a straight line through the origin before the limit of proportionality. Where the gradient is constant it will be the value of Young’s Modulus. After the limit of proportionality the gradient changes to cause the line to bend

67
Q

Elastic Limit Behaviour?

A

The elastic limit is when an object starts to behave elastically. After the elastic limit the object no longer returns to its original shape and size when stress is removed

68
Q

Yield Point?

A

Where a material suddenly starts to stretch without additional load. It is also called yield stress. It is the stress at which a large amount of plastic deformation takes place at a reduced load

69
Q

Force-Extension graph results trends?

A

Different wire lengths with different dimensions of the same material can produce different force-extension graphs

70
Q

Force-Extension graphs compared to Stress-Strain Graphs?

A

Force-Extension graphs are specific for the tested object and depend on its dimension. Stress-Strain graphs describe general behaviours of materials as stress and strain are independent of dimensions

71
Q

Trend behaviour on Force-Extension graphs?

A

Graphs can be plotted when weight is gradually added or removed. This means the unloading line cannot match with the loading line. If the material has deformed plastically it will not return to the original shape

72
Q

Object past elastic limit?

A

This means the object has been stretch to a level where it deforms plastically and remains permanently stretched

73
Q

Atom behaviour for plastic deformation?

A

The forces between atoms would be the same in unloading as loading if the object doesn’t deform plastically. The unloading line doesn’t go through the origin if the object has deformed plastically

74
Q

Loading trends on a force-extension graph?

A

The unloading line will be parallel to the loading line as the stiffness constant otherwise the “k” value remains unchanged. When load is removed the amount of extension will decrease

75
Q

Curve on a force-extension graph?

A

When a force-extension graph starts to curve it means the metal wire has been stretched beyond its limit of proportionality

76
Q

Loading affect on area of graph?

A

The area between loading and unloading is the work done required to permanently deform a wire

77
Q

Stress-Strain graphs for brittle materials?

A

The stress-strain graph for a brittle material doesn’t curve. Brittle materials obey Hooke’s Law producing a straight line gradient going through the origin

78
Q

Brittle Materials behaviour?

A

Brittle materials when they stretch to a certain point will snap due to material fracturing and this shows brittle materials do not deform plastically

79
Q

Force-Extension compared to Stress-Strain graphs for brittle materials?

A

The trends are similar as there is no plastic deformation which means the gradient is a straight line until the material fractures

80
Q

Brittle material properties?

A

If a force is applied it will not deform plastically. Brittle objects suddenly snap when stress gets to a certain magnitude. Brittle materials can be quite weak if they have cracks in them.

81
Q

Examples of brittle materials?

A

A chocolate bar and an example of it being brittle is parts can be broken off without changing the whole shape. Ceramics are brittle as they can shatter with certain magnitudes of stress

82
Q

Ceramics Structure?

A

Ceramics are made by melting certain materials and letting them cool. The arrangements are crystalline or polycrystalline. The structure is based on regions otherwise grains of crystalline structures. The bonding is a giant rigid structure. The strong bond make it stiff while rigid makes them brittle

83
Q

Metals and brittle property?

A

Most metals are not brittle and this is because atoms within metals are able to move apart preventing cracks from getting larger

84
Q

Brittle material cracks?

A

When stress is applied to a brittle material the cracks get larger because they have a rigid structure and when they become large enough they cause the material to break

85
Q

Brittle Fracture?

A

When stress is applied to a brittle material any cracks at the materials surface get larger until the material completely breaks
