Intro To Engineering Materials

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 43 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The measure of a material's resistance to deformation by surface indentation or by abrasion.






2. The ratio of stress to strain when deformation is totally elastic; also a measure of the stiffness of a material.






3. 1.38e-23


4. The total area under the material's tensile engineering stress - strain curve taken to fracture.






5. Exhibiting different values of a property in different crystallographic directions.






6. Deformation that is non - permanent and totally recovered upon release of applied stress.






7. Metals as well as nonmetals that have more than one crystal structure.






8. The natural logarithm of the ratio of instantaneous gauge length to original guage length of a specimen being deformed by a uniaxial force.






9. A stress used for design purposes; for ductile metals - it is the yield strength divided by a factor of safety.






10. The rate of diffusion or rate of mass transfer.






11. Atomic migration in pure metals.






12. Crystal structure with atoms located at each of the corners and the centers of all the cube faces. Coordination # = 12. APF = 0.74.






13. The instantaneous load applied to a specimen divided by its cross - sectional area before any deformation.






14. Material transport by atomic motion.






15. Atomic migration from a normal lattice position to an adjacent vacant lattice site or vacancy.






16. Having identical values of a property in all crystallographic directions.






17. The instantaneous applied load divided by the instantaneous cross - sectional area of a specimen.






18. A three- dimensional array of points coinciding with atom positions.






19. Product of the calculated stress level and a design factor.






20. The maximum engineering stress - in tension - that may be sustained without fracture.






21. The capacity of a material to absorb energy when it is elastically deformed.






22. The slope of the concentration profile at a specific position.






23. Time- dependent elastic deformation.






24. A linear defect associated with the lattice distortion created when normally parallel planes are joined together to form a helical ramp.






25. The manner in which atoms - ions - or molecules are spatially arranged.






26. The process whereby atoms of one metal diffuse into another.






27. Deformation that is permanent or nonrecoverable after release of the applied stress.






28. The diffusion condition for which there is no net accumulation or depletion of diffusing species.






29. A homogeneous crystalline phase that contains two or more chemical species.






30. The curve that results when the concentration of a chemical species is plotted versus position in a material.






31. The energy required to separate two atoms that are chemically bonded to each other.






32. The sum of the sphere volumes of all atoms within a unit cell divided by the unit cell volume.






33. A measure of a material's ability to undergo appreciable plastic deformation before fracture; may be expressed as percent elongation (%EL) or percent reduction area (%RA) from a tensile test.






34. The change in gauge length of a specimen divided by its original gauge length.






35. Crystal structure with atoms located at all eight corners and a single atom at the cube center. Coordination # = 8. APF = 0.68.






36. Atomic migration from interstitial site to interstitial site. Typically happens more frequently than vacancy diffusion.






37. The stress required to produce a very slight yet specified amount of plastic strain.






38. Prisms having three sets of parallel faces.






39. The diffusion condition for which there is some net accumulation or depletion of diffusing species.






40. The onset of plastic deformation.






41. Material in which the atoms are situated in a repeating or periodic array over large atomic distances.






42. Linear defect associated with the lattice distortion produced in the vicinity of the end of an extra half- plane of atoms within a crystal.






43. Crystal structure with a hexagonal unit cell. Coordination # = 12. APF = 0.74.
