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






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






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

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






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






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






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






9. 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






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






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






12. 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






13. The study of crack growth leading to material failure

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






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

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






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