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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. 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






12. 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






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






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






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






16. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






36. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






37. 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






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