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






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






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






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






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






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






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


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






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






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






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






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






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






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






16. A method used to determine the tensile strength - breaking strength - and the yield strength of a sample






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






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






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






20. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking

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






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






26. Cracks - voids - and other inperfections in a material that cause highly localized increases in stress






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






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






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






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






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

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






36. 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






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






38. 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

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






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