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 ratio of applied load to cross - sectional area






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






3. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. 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






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






14. 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






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






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






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






18. 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






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






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






21. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






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






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






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






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






26. 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






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






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