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 degree of certainty in an estimate of a mean






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






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






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






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






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






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






8. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






18. 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






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






20. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






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






22. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






31. 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






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






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






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






35. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






43. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






44. 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






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






46. 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






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