A

natural log of instantaneous length over initial length

25
Q

What is hardness?

A

measure of resistance to surface plastic deformation (dent or scratch).

26
Q

What does a large value of hardness mean?

A

high resistance to deformation from compressive loads

27
Q

What is Rockwell Hardness?

A

combination of load magnitude and indenter size

28
Q

What is the importance of design/safety factors?

A

allowances must be made to protect against unanticipated failure.

29
Q

What is the equation for working stress?

A

yield strength divided by factor of safety (N)

30
Q

What is the expected value for factor of safety

A

between 1.2 to 4. the higher the number the greater the safety

31
Q

What does “visco” mean?

A

resistance demonstrated by a fluid when it is being sheared or stressed.

32
Q

What does “elastic” mean?

A

ability to return to original shape or form once shear or stress is removed.

33
Q

What are the parameters for a viscoelastic material?

A

can exhibit elastic behavior ONLY at low temperatures, and viscous behavior at high temperatures. Performs VISCOELASTIC at temperatures between those two regions.

34
Q

What are the three tests to measure viscoelasticity?

A
  1. creep
  2. stress-relaxation
  3. oscillatory stress
35
Q

What is creep?

A

when a sample is subjected to constant stress and deformation (strain) is measured as a function of time.

36
Q

What is stress-relaxation?

A

A material is deformed rapidly and the stress necessary to maintain deformation is measured as a function of time. (constant strain)

37
Q

What is oscillatory stress?

A

measured with rheometer which records a material’s response to oscillatory stress.
- rotating plate

38
Q

What is a dashpot?

A

a damper that resists motion via viscous friction (visco)

39
Q

What is a spring?

A

compresses to a certain length and returns to it’s original state (elastic).

40
Q

What is the purpose of the Maxwell model?

A

it can model tissue and predict the deformation.
