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 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






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


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






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






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






6. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






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






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






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






10. 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






11. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






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






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






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






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






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






17. 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






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






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






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






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






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






23. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






31. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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