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






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

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


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






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






7. 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






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






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

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






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






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






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






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