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






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


3. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






19. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






20. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






41. 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






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






43. 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

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






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