Modern Material Science And Engineering 4

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 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. A curve plotting the results of testing multiple samples at different stress levels that used to to determine the fatigue life of a material at a given stress level






2. The stress at the point of transition between elastic stretching and plastic deformation






3. The square root of the variance. this value provides more knowledge about the distance from the mean a random sample is likely to be






4. A nonlinear - qualitative scaled used to evaluate the resistance of a materials surface to penetration by a hard object






5. One of the many scales used to evaluate the resistance of a materials surface to penetration by a hard object under static force






6. The fracture toughness above the critical thickness in which the width of the material no longer impacts the fracture toughness






7. Guidelines published by the American Society for Testing and Materials that provide detailed testing procedures to ensure that tests performed in different laboratories are directly comparable






8. Stress values not involving the presence of stress raisers in the material






9. The region on the stress - strain curve in which the material has experienced a change from which it will not completely recover






10. Term that accounts for the increased stress applied to an elliptical crack whose length is much greater than its width






11. A limit placed on the accuracy of a reported mean - based on the number of samples tested - the standard deviation - and the desired level of confidence






12. A statistical table based on the degrees of freedom and the level of uncertainty in a set of reported sample values






13. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






14. Stresses that act perpendicularly to the direction of the crack - causing the crack ends to pull apart and opening the crack further






15. A value used to characterized creep based on time - temperature - and material- specific constants






16. The stress at which the material breaks completely during tensile testing






17. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






18. A specific method of measuring the resistance of a materials surface to penetration by a hard object under a static force






19. The number of cycles at a given stress level that a material can experience before failing






20. The amount of flexural stress a material can withstand before breaking. measured through the bend test






21. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






22. The value that the stress concentration factor must exceed to allow a crack to propogate






23. A property defining a materials resistance to a blow that is measured by an impact test






24. A method used to determine the tensile strength - breaking strength - and the yield strength of a sample






25. An estimate of the transition between elastic stretching and plastic deformation for a material without a linear region stress - strain curve






26. A method used to measure the resistance of the surface of a material to penetration by a hard object under a static force






27. A statistical quantity that takes into account the random error from a variety of sources and provides infromation about the spread of the data






28. The resistance of the surface of a material to penetration by a hard object under static force






29. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






30. The ratio of applied load to cross - sectional area

35. A method used to measure the flexural strength of a sample






36. The transition of some metals in which a change in temperature causes them to transform between ductile and brittle behavior






37. The change in the slope of the strain - time plot at any given point during a creep test






38. The sudden decrease in cross - sectional area of a region of a sample under a tensile load






39. The ratio of the maximum stress to the applied stress






40. Materials that fail completely at the onset of plastic deformation. these materials have linear stress - strain curves






41. Plastic deformation of a material under stress at elevated temperatures; occurs due to dislocations in the material






42. Test that approximate the impact of an environmental variable on a material over time by exposing the material to a higher level of that variable for shorter times






43. The ratio of the elastic energy to the strain at yielding - which determines how much energy will be used for deformation and how much will be translated to motion






44. The region on a stress - strain curve in which no permanent changes to the material occur






45. The application of stresses parallel to a crack causing the top portion to be pushed forward and the bottom portion to be pulled in the opposite direction

47. An impact test similar to the charpy test in which the sample is aligned vertically with the notch facing away from the hammer






48. The stage in which the rate that dislocations propagate equals the rate at which the dislocations are blocked - resulting in a fairly linear region on the strain - time plot






49. The first stage of creep - during which dislocations in a material slip and move around obstacles






50. The stress at the highest applied force on a stress - strain curve
