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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. 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






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






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






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






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

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






21. 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

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