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 stress at the highest applied force on a stress - strain curve






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






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






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






5. 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






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


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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






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






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






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






22. 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






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






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