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






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






3. 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






4. 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






5. The study of crack growth leading to material failure






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






16. Failure because of repeated stresses bellow the yield strength






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






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






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






20. The amount of energy lost as the test sample is destroyed during an impact test






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






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






23. 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






24. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






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