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 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






9. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






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






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






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






13. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






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 stress at which the material breaks completely during tensile testing






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






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






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






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


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






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






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






23. 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






24. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






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






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






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






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






29. 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






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






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






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






33. 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






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






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






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






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






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






39. 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






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






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






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