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. One of the many scales used to evaluate the resistance of a materials surface to penetration by a hard object under static force






2. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. A single blow test names after Charpy in which a notched test sample is broken by a swinging pendulum






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






12. 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






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






14. 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






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






16. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






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






18. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






27. 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






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






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






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






31. 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






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






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






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






35. 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






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






37. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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