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






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






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






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






5. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






16. 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






17. The application of stress perpendicular to a crack - wich pulls the top and bottom potions in opposite directions






18. 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






19. The amount of energy lost as the test sample is destroyed during an impact test






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






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






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






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

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






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






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






27. 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






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






29. The final stage of creep - during which the rate of deformations accelerates rapidly and continues until rupture






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






31. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






32. 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






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






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






35. A property determined by measuring the change in the length of a sample to initial length of the sample






36. 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






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






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






39. 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






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






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






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 stress level below which there is a 50% probability that failure will never occur






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






45. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






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






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






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






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






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