22
Q

Measured by mass per unit volume of material. Reflects mass and orientation of atoms in material.

A

A

Tension/Compression

24
Q

Stress parallel to face of object caused by torsion.

A

Shear Stress

25
Q

Applies to uniform shape that has equal/tensile/compressive force on all areas. Positive when pushing.

A

Hydrostatic Pressure

26
Q

Reaction to tensile stress measured as
(change in length/length). Negative for compressive stress

A

Tensile/Compressive STrain

27
Q

Law that states that stress and strain are proprotionally linear up to yield strength and strain is recoverable. Measured as
Stress =(Young’s Modulus) * Strain

A

Hooke’s Law

28
Q

Constant representing proportion between tensile/compressive stress and tensile/compressive strain.

A

Young’s Modulus

29
Q

Constant telling proportion between shear stress and shear strain.

A

Shear Modulus

30
Q

Constant representing pressure and dilation (or strain from pressure).

A

Bulk Modulus

31
Q

What are the properties of silicone at low temperatures, high temperatures, and very high temperatures?

A

Low Temperatures- Insulator
High Temperatures- Semi-Conductor
Very High Temperatures- Metal/Conductor

32
Q

Happens when metal is cooled to certain temperature, causing zero electrical resistance

A

Superconductor

33
Q

Why does applying high pressure to a gas lead it to be liquified?

A

Assuming temperature is constant, high pressure causes distance between atoms in molecule to decrease, leading to more intermolecular bonds forming.

34
Q

What are the four scales of structures? What is the scale unit of each?

A

Macroscopic (10^-5)
Microscropic (10^-6)
Atomic (10^-9)
Electronic (10^-10)

35
Q

What is the unit called indicating 10^-10 that is the smallest scale a material can be looked at?

A

Angstrom.

36
Q

What are the some characteristics of metals

A

o High Stiffness
o When pure, soft/easily deformed.
 Made strong through alloying while remaining ductile.
 High fracture toughness.
o Weaknesses- Reactive, corrode rapidly if not protected.
o Good electrical/thermal conductors

37
Q

What are some characteristics of ceramics

A

o Structure- Crystalline of ionic and covalent bonds
Attractive features.
o Stiff, hard, and abrasion resistant.
o Retain strength to high temperature and resist corrosion well.
o Good electrical insulators.
o Weaknesses- Brittle with low fracture toughness.
 Low tolerance for stress.

38
Q

What are some characteristics of glasses?

A

o Lack of crystal structure lesses plasticitiy or deformation, meaning their hard and corrosion resistant.
 Good electrical insulators and transparent to light.
o Weaknesses- Brittle meaning low tolerance for stress.

39
Q

What are some characteristics of polymers

A

o Light in weight and low density.
o Low stiffness.
o However, strong b/c of low density meaning hard to deform.
o Properties dependent on room temperature.
 Tough/Flexible at room temperature, brittle at -4 C, rubbery at 100C of boiling water.
* Some have useful strength about 150 C.
o Easy to shape- Good for components that snap together.
Strong bonds of sheets but weak bonds between sheets.

40
Q

What is an elastomer?

A
  • Elastomers- Polymers with extremely low stiffness (500-5000 times less than metals as opposed to 50 times less in stiffness for polymers).
41
Q

What is a composite/hybrid material?

A
  • Hybrids- Combination of Two or More materials
    o Carbon Fiber and glass.
    o Materials of nature (wood, bone, skin, etc.) are hybrids
     Bones are mix of collagens (polymer) and hydroxyapatite(mineral).
    o High Cost as difficult to form and join.
42
Q

What are the different thermal processing and effects on steel?

A

 If slowly cooled from high temperature, steel will be soft and have low strength.
 If rapidly cooled, steel is extremely hard and brittle.
 However, if rapidly cooled and reheated to moderate temperature, good combination of strength and toughness.

43
Q

What is quantum mechanic theory

A

Electrons exhibit both wave and particle characteristics

44
Q

Schrodinger’s Equation

A

Equation which describes electron wave motion in terms of energy levels and wave orientation.

45
Q

Pauli’s Exclusion Principle

A

Each electron has unique set of four quantum numbers, due to the repulsion by each electron on each other if in close proximity.

46
Q

Ionic Bonds

A

Electron Transfer between two atoms with high difference in electronegativity.

Attraction occurs between ionic core of nucleus and valence electron of other atom.

Repulsion occurs when ions get closer together due to core electrons in each.

47
Q

Covalent Bonds

A

Created between two electronegative elements, meaning both attract ions.

Develops through attraction between negatively charged shared electron and positively charged nuclei.

Repulsion occurs when core electrons begin to overlap.

48
Q

Metallic Bonds

A

Solids composed of electropositive elements where electrons are shared by all atoms in compound.

Valence electron forms cloud/sea of electrons surrounded by ion core.

Attraction comes from positively charged ion core and negatively charged electron cloud.

Repulsion occurs when electron shells of ion cores overlap.
