Properties Of Materials Flashcards
What is stress?
Force/Area
What two things can we measure to assess the tensile stress of a material?
Stress and strain
What is stress measured in?
PA
What is strain?
Change in length/lengt
What arête typical stress for a lad compared to premolar?
30 Mpa
Why do some materials elongate more than others?
Difference in elsstic modules or Young’s modulus
T/F
Young’s modulus is a measur of how flexible or rigid a materialis
T
How can we measure elastic modules?
By looking at stress strain curves
What are the two regions on the stress strain curves?
Elastic and plastic region
What does the elastic region suggest?
When the material is released and returned back To its original shape
What does the plastic region mean?
The material has been permanently deformed
What values can be seen on stress strain curves?
Proportional limit
Yield stress
Proof stress
Fracture stress
Below the proportional limit what does this mean?
The material deforms elsstically and is proportional
What happens below the proportional limit and yield stress?
The elastic deforms but not proportionally
What is the boundary been elastic and plastic?
Yield stress
