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 determine the tensile strength - breaking strength - and the yield strength of a sample






2. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






3. 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






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






5. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






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


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






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






18. 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






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






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






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






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






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






24. 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






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






26. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






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






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

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






49. 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






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