engineering stress =? |
force/surface area |
|

stress/strain |
|
T or F: elastic deformation is reversible. |
True |
|
Poisson's ratio (v) =? |
v = -width strain/ axial strain |
|
Yield strength (sigma y) =? |
- point at which plastic deformation occurs -if nonlinear draw line from strain=0.2% -if noisy take average of max and min |
|
At plastic deformation? |
- irreversible deformation occurs - bonds are broken and formed - can only recover up to elastic deformation |
|
Resilience (Ur) =? |
ability to absorb energy by elastic deformation (up to yield stress) Ur = 1/2 * ((sigma y) ^2)/E |
|
Strength def. |
how much force a sample can withstand without failure |
|
factor of safety (N) =? |
yield stress/applied stress (assume 2 if none given) |
|
Toughness (Ut)= ? |
Ability to absorb energy up to fracture Ut = integral from 0 to strain at fracture of sigma dstrain |
|
Ultimate tensile stress (UTS) =? |
- highest point of stress before fracture - point at which necking begins |
|
Ductility def. |
degree of plasic deformation before fracture |
|
dislocation under shear stress =? |
movement of dislocations along slip plane direction |
|
critical resolved shear stress=? |
minimum required to produce slip tau R = sigma y/2 |
|
Hardness =? |
surface resistance to plastic deformation |
|
To strengthen materials (and hinder motion of dislocations) we can use: |
- cold working - solid solution strengthening - precipitation hardening - grain size reduction |
|
cold working = ? |
plastically deforming the material at low temps (increases dislocation density) %CW = (A0 -Ad)/A0 *100 Ad = surface area after dislocation |
|
Solid solution strengthening = ? |
adding impurities/ alloying to rrestrict dislocation movement (strains on surrounding atoms) |
|
Why does grain size reduction increase hardness? |
the movements of dislocations stop at grain boundaries |
|
before necking: strain=? stress=? |
strain = ln( 1+ engineering strain) stress = engineering stress(1+ engineering strain) |
|
After necking: strain = ? stress= ? |
strain = ln (SA/SAi) stress= engineering stress(SA/SAi) SAi = instantaneous surface area |
|

current density (j)=? |
j = n|q|v n = # of particles v = velocity |
|
conductivity (sigma) =? |
sigma = n|q|mu sigma = 1/resistivity |
|
nucleation = ? |
creation of nuclei that happens at critical radius |
|
What is the difference between homogenous and heterogeneous nucleation? |
homogeneous = probability of forming nuclei is the same everywhere heterogeneous = more probable at the mould walls |
|
As melting temperature increases>> critical nucleus? |
decreases and number of nuclei increases |
|
growth stage of solidification = ? |
