resist failure
strenght of material
resist deformation
stiffness
deformation due to external force is within certain limit
elastic limit
retain its original shape and size
elasticity
limit within which the body behaves perfectly elastic
elastic limit
resistance per unit deformation
stress
stress that is loaded by an axial force
normal stress
stress state leadíng to expansion
tensile stress
ability to deform under tensile stress
ductility
force that attempts to squeeze or compress a material
compressive stress
differs from tensile and compressive stresses in that the external and internal forces are parallel to the stressed crossed sectional area
shearing stress
stress developed when two elastic bodies are forced together
bearing stress
force acting on a generally horizontal direction
tangential stress
force that produce mountain folding and faulting
tangential stress
distance between the two reference points
gauge length
determined by dividing the elongation values by the gauge length
strain
stress is proportional to strain
proportional limit
material will not be able to recover its original size and shape
yield point
stress corresponding to yield point
yield point stress
stress which attains its maximum value
ultimate stress
necessary to break away the specimen, is less than the maximum stress
breaking stress
ratio of the maximum stress to the working stress
factor of safety
used to determine the combined effect of two or more stresses
superposition method
considered uniform, and will be the same value over the entire length of the beam
axial stress
accumulation of stress in a body due to sudden change in its geometry
stress concentration
to prevent a body from getting failed, the concentration of stress should be avoided or reduced
stress risers
ratio of highest stress in the body to the reference stress
stress concentration factor
one that performs well
successful product
have relatively high moduli
metals
can be made strong by alloying and by mechanical and heat treatment
metals
have high moduli, but unlike metals, they are brittle
ceramics and glasses
have moduli which are low, roughly 50 times less than those of metals
polymers and elastomers
they can be strong, nearly as strong as metals
polymers and elastomers
combine the attractive properties of the other classes of materials while avoiding some of their drawbacks
composites
light, stiff and strong, and they can be tough
composites
determined the behaviour of materials under the action of external forces called loads
mechanical properties of materials
determined by the range of usefulness of the metal and establish the service that is expected
mechanical properties of metals
useful for help to specify and identify the metals
mechanical properties
enables a metal to resist deformation load
strength
capacity to withstand destruction under the action of external loads
strength
ability of an object or material to resume its normal shape after being stretched or compressed
elasticity
power of coming back to its original position after deformation
elasticity
ability to undergo some permanent deformation without rupture
plasticity
resistance of a material to force penetration or bending
hardness
ability of material to resist scratching, abrasion, cutting or penetration
hardness
ability of material to oppose the scratches to outer surface layer due to external force
scratch hardness
ability of material to oppose the dent due to punch of external hard and sharp objects
indentation hardness
also called as dynamic hardness
rebound hardness
property of material which enables it to withstand shock or impact
toughness
opposite condition of brittleness
toughness
