Term
Stress
Definition
force per unit area applied to a material
Term
Strain
Definition
movement (change in shape) of a material due to applied stress
Term
2 types of strain
Definition
1) Elastic Strain
2) Plastic Strain
Term
Elastic Strain (def.)
Definition
change in shape that occurs due to an applied stress and disappears when the stress is removed
Term
Plastic Strain (def.)
Definition
permanent change in shape that occurs in a material due to an applied stress
Term
Elastic strain occurs due to...
Definition
... stretching of atomic bonds
Term
Plastic strain occurs by...
Definition
... dislocation motion in metal alloys
Term
Dislocations can only move in...
Definition
... specific directions within a metals crystal structure
Term
Slip planes
Definition
directions in which dislocations move
Term
FCC (number of slip planes and direction)
Definition
4 slip planes in 4 directions
Term
BCC (slip planes and direction)
Definition
2 slip planes at 90* to each other
Term
HCP (slip planes and direction)
Definition
2 slip planes that are parallel to each other
Term
Anisotropic
Definition
properties vary with direction within a metal
Term
The crystalline nature of metals causes...
Definition
... their properties to be anisotropic
