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. 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






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






3. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






17. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






27. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






28. 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






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






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






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






32. 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

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






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






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






43. A statistical quantity that takes into account the random error from a variety of sources and provides infromation about the spread of the data

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