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






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






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






4. 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






5. The amount of flexural stress a material can withstand before breaking. measured through the bend test






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






7. 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






8. 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






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






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






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






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






13. The resistance of the surface of a material to penetration by a hard object under static force






14. A property defining a materials resistance to a blow that is measured by an impact test






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






16. 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






17. The ease with which a material deforms without breaking






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






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






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






21. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






36. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






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

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






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






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






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






50. Materials that can plastically deform without breaking
