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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. 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






11. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






12. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






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






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






15. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking






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






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






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






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






20. 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






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






22. A curve plotting the results of testing multiple samples at different stress levels that used to to determine the fatigue life of a material at a given stress level






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






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

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






32. 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
