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

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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






19. 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






20. 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






21. The degree of certainty in an estimate of a mean






22. 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






23. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






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

28. 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
