physical & mechanical properties CHP 3 Flashcards
what is strength?
The ability to resist change in shape or size when external force or stress is applied.
what are the four stresses?
- tensile
- compressive
- shear
- torsion
what type of strenght does steel has equal?
- compresssive
- tensile
- but cast iron
1. has low tensile! and high compressive!
define tensile
- is used to obtain info about the mechanical properties of a material.
what are the tensile test?
- ductility
- tensile strenght
- proportional limit
- elastic limit
- modulus of elasticity(E)
- resilience
- yield point
- ultimate strenght
- ultm strenght
- breaking point
what is the formula for tensile strenght (psi)?
and
unit strenght?
tensile streght(psi) =
(psi) = maximum load (lb) / org area (in)
unit stress = Load / area
what does it do to a metal that is compress & tension?
whats the new name when the metal deforms?
- when the metal is compress the metal will shorten.
- when the metal is in tension the metal will stretched longer.
- the name is (strain) express as inch.
what hapens to (strains) when the stress increases?
what happens when the load is removed? what is this known for?
what happens when a load is applied above the elastic-limit?
- strain increases by the proportion with in the elastic range.
- when the load is removed the material returns to it orig shape. ► known as the hooke’s law.
- the metal permantly deforms.
what is tensile strenght ?
Material ability to withstand stress in tension or pulling apart.
what is compressive strenght?
material ability to withstand a “pressing” or” squeezing together” type of stress.
what are the four factor that must be presented?
- stress concentrarion must be subceptible to brittle fraccture
- stress concentrarion must be present
- tensile stress must be present
- temp. must be relatively low
whath are some catastrophiic failure in tensile stress?
- a part or structure can be completly free of an external or applied load, and fail suddenly and catastrophically while sitting on a bench or a floor.
welded, torch-cut or heat-threated steels are particularly susceptible to this.
where is tensile testing performed?
is performed on a tensile tester.
tools used extensometer (0.0505in)
what is shear strenght?
force that causes two contiguous parts of the same bode to slide relative to each other in a direction parallel to the plane of contact.
how are shear used?
what type of testing do they use?
what is the formula of the shear?
- are used in the strength of the shank for load maintenance.
- tested in a fixture configured. fixture in copresion
- Load / Area = shear (psi)
what is torsion?
- torsion strenght is the materials ability to resist shear stress in rotation.
1.
how is torsion useful?
- it tests parts such as:
- shafts
- azles
- sockets
- and rotations tools
stress-grain curves may be ploted from torsion data.
what is faigue streght (endurance streght)
- ability of a materia to resist reaped loading. vibrations is an exmple
- deals with reapeated loading and unloading..
what are some effects of faigue stress?
why is fatigue failures serious?
- slight cracks in the surface
- it propagates across a piece of metal when it lacks good fatigue streght.
- becouse the can happen without warning.
what is elasticity?
what is the elastic limit?
- the ability of a material to strain under load and then return to its original size and shape when unloaded.
- is the greatest load a material can withstand and still be back to it original shape.
what is plasticity ?
- is melleability. meaning that has th eability to permanently change shape, and retain that shape, from a compresive load.
*
process of plasticity?
- plastic deformors materials and it becomes harder
* yield point shift upwards
for forging, drawing, extruding, and forming
- what happens to elastic deformation when strain increases ?
- does the ratio remain the same?
*
strain increases in direct proportion to the increase in stress.
- ratio remains constant for low levels of stress.
and stresses below the proportional limit,
what will a stress-strain diagram help you determine?
- modolus of elasticity
- elastic deformation
- yield strenght
- proportional limit
- proof stress
- uninform elongation
- total elongation
- tield point elongation
sress-straincurves are used to calculate hystereis. if it absorbed or lost energy that occurs during any cycle of loading or unloading.
