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






2. 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






3. 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






4. A value used to determine if two distinct sets of examples are statistically different






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






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






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






8. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






9. A period used to force the same aging processes to occur on a sample in a shorter amount of time






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






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






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






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






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






15. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






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






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






18. The degree of certainty in an estimate of a mean






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






20. A single blow test names after Charpy in which a notched test sample is broken by a swinging pendulum






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






22. The area contained under the elastic portion of a stress - strain curve - which represent how much energy the material can absorb before permanently beforming






23. 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






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






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






26. Method used to determine fatigue by alternating compressive and tensile forces on the sample






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






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






29. 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






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






31. 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






32. Relates the longitudinal deformation and the lateral deformation of material under stress


33. Cracks - voids - and other inperfections in a material that cause highly localized increases in stress






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






35. 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

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






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






39. The slope of the stress - strain curve in the elastic region. aka Young's Modulus and Tensile Modulus

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






42. A ratio of the force applied to a sample and the instantaneous length of the chain to the initial length of the chain






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

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






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