Q

what are the test parameters for hardness testing?

A

Load, Indenter, Dwell time.

17
Q

what does the letter E represent?

A

Elastic Modulus or Young’s modulus

18
Q

What does the letter G represent?

A

Shear Modulus

19
Q

what is poisson’s ratio?

A

poisons ratio v is defined as the ratio of the lateral and axial strains.

20
Q

What does this formula give for isotropic materials? E=2G(1+v)

A

it gives a relationship between shear and elastic moduli. if one is known then the other can be approximated.

21
Q

what is yield strength?

A

the bend between the elastic and plastic regions. (basically where the elastic limit is reached and plastic deformation begins).

22
Q

what is tensile strength?

A

it is the maximum stress at a point on the engineering stress strain curve. it is the maximum stress that can be sustained by a structure in tension. if this stress is applied and maintained, fracture will result.

23
Q

what is %EL?

A

% elongation

24
Q

what is %RA?

A

% Reduction in Area

25
Q

the hotter the material is the more brittle it is

A

False
