Mechanical Properties of Materials Flashcards
Brittleness is
Tendency to fracture even at very small loads.
Creep is
deformation of a material at elevated temperatures
Ductility is
how much a material can deform without sustaining internal damage
Fatigue is
weakening of a material due to repeated (cyclic) loading
Hardness is
ability to resist permanent change in shape due to external load (applied)
Plasticity is
ability of a material to stay deformed after external; forces are removed (eg. paper clip)
Resilience is
ability to absorb energy and resist soft and impact loading
Stiffness is
ability to resist deformation as loading continues
Toughness is
ability of a material to resist fracture before failure.

what are the zones on a conventional true stress-strain diagram from right to left?
elastic behavior, plastic(yielding, strain hardening,necking) behavior.
How do you measure elastic deformation?
Hookes law and Poisson’s ratio
What are the three tests used to measured material Hardness?
