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 method used to measure the flexural strength of a sample






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






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






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






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






6. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






7. 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






8. 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






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






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






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






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






13. 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






14. 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






15. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






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






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






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






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






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


21. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






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






23. 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






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






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






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






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






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






29. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






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