3 points about metals
(metallic bonding)
– Strong, high modulus, ductile
– High thermal and electrical conductivity
– Crystalline, opaque, reflective
3 points on polymers (plastics)
(covalent and van der Waals bonding)
– Soft, ductile, low strength, low modulus, low density
– Thermal and electrical insulators
– Optically translucent or transparent
Ceramics
(ionic and covalent bonding)
– Metallic/non-metallic element compounds (oxides, carbides, etc.)
– Brittle, crystalline or amorphous, high Temp
– Strong, high modulus
– Electrically and thermally insulating
elastic deformation
returns to original shape
plastic deformation
– structure retains some
permanent deformation
– many structures involve both
elastic and plastic responses
Tensile test
how does it work
Draw a stress strain curve for ceramics, metals and polymers
draw a tensile test diagram, engineering stress vs engineering strain
Name all stages of tensile test
- initial elastic region
- non linear elastic region
- yield stress
- plastic deformation
Describe Initial Elastic region
recoverable (O - A)
– Linear Elastic
* Stress is directly proportional to strain
* When the force is removed the specimen returns to it’s original undeformed
shape
– Hooke’s Law
Where does yield stress occur
Material Yields at B
– Yield stress σy (yield strength) - The stress at which the onset of
plastic deformation occurs
Where does plastic deformation occur (and describe it etc)
Plastic Deformation after B
– Plastic deformation is not recoverable and it is permanent
– When the load is removed the specimen does not return to its
original undeformed shape. The material becomes damaged
– Work hardening – occurs during plastic deformation
Define toughness
TOUGHNESS – the amount of
energy a material can absorb
before it undergoes fracture
Poisson’s Ratio
as ratio of lateral (contraction) strain to
axial (extension) strain
𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜 = 𝜈 = − 𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛/𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛 = − ∆𝑑/𝑑 // ∆𝐿/𝐿
Shear Stress
shear stress (τ) acts tangential to the surface of a material element
Shear Modulus
shear modulus (G) is described in terms of ratio of shear stress
(τ) to the corresponding shear strain (γ)
Elastic isotropic material properties E, υ and G are not
independent and may be related to one another by,
𝐸 = 2(1 + 𝜐) 𝐺
Torsion
Angle of twist
Stiffness
resistance to elastic deformation
Yield strength
ability to resist plastic deformation
ductile
large plastic strain before fracture
brittle
low plastic strain before fracture
hardness
ability to resist localized plastic deformation
Formula for true stress related to engineering stress
σ true
= σ eng (1 + ε eng)
ε true
= ln (1 + ε eng)
Atomics bonding- what happens to atoms during elastic deformation?
– Atoms are stretched/separated but bonds are not broken
– Atoms return to original position on removal of load
Name the primary vs secondary bonding types
Primary (Chemical): Strong
– Ionic (Ceramics)
– Covalent (Polymers)
– Metallic
- Secondary (Physical): Weak
– van der Waals
– Hydrogen
Ionic Bonding
Transfer of electron(s)
takes place between atoms
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
– High melting and boiling points
Covalent Bonding
Covalent bonding - Outer electrons
(valence) are shared between atoms
weaker than Ionic Bond
– Polymers are primarily bonded
together through covalent bonds
