Streess and Strain Flashcards
1
Q
Elastiscity
A
Ability to regain shape after deformation or distortion
2
Q
tensile
A
deformation that stretches
3
Q
Compression
A
deformation that compresses
4
Q
Stress
A
Tension per cross sectional area
5
Q
Strain
A
extension per unit length
6
Q
Stiffness
A
Has a high Young’s modulus
7
Q
Strength
A
Has a high Ultimate Tensile Stress and endures more stress
8
Q
brittle
A
Material that snaps without any noticeable yield
9
Q
ductile
A
an be drawn out and can endure more strain
10
Q
Permanent extension
A
Exceeds elastic limit and becomes permanently deformed
