Term
What are the three bonds and their characteristics?
Definition
Ionic -- very strong -- non-directional--hard and brittle

Covalent -- very strong -- directional--hard and brittle

Metallic--weaker bond--non-directional-- ductile and malleable

Van der Waals -- very weak -- Ductile
Term
What causes deformation? What are the types of deformation?
Definition
Any force applied to an object (Newton's second law -- equal and opposite)

Elastic Deformation -- reversible
Plastic Deformation -- permanent
Term
What causes deformation? What are the types of deformation?
Definition
Any force applied to an object (Newton's second law -- equal and opposite)

Elastic Deformation -- reversible
Plastic Deformation -- permanent
Term
What is yield stress?
Definition
Below this point the material is in elastic deformation and this is reversible
Term
In Hooke's Law what is proportional?
Definition
elastic strain and stress are proportional
Term
What do all the components of Bragg's law mean?
Definition
N = integer
λ = wavelength
d = spacing between planes
Theta = angle
Term
A solid is crystalline when...
Definition
... it has long range periodicity
Term
what is the approx diameter of an atom?
Definition
3x10 to the negative ten m.
Term
The glide of dislocations can cause what?
Definition
Plastic deformations -- these deformations are most often caused by the glide of dislocations
Term
the equilibrium concentration of vacancies in a crystal increases with what?
Definition
increasing temperature
Term
What do grain boundaries do?
Definition
Increase strength of material by preventing the slip of dislocations
Term
What do grain boundaries do?
Definition
Increase strength of material by preventing the slip of dislocations
Term
Definition of crystal dislocation?
Definition
a line defect that by its motion causes glide by one atom spacing over the area over which it has moved
Term
Elastic limit =
Definition
= yield strength
Term
Modulus is related to what?
Definition
Stiffness
Term
strain is proportional to what
Definition
deformation
Term
stress is proportional to what?
Definition
the load
Term
What are a crystal's properties determined by?
Definition
Crystal structure
Defects
Bonding
Term
Point Defects
Definition
Atoms missing or in irregular places in the lattice
- vacancies
- impurities
- interstitials
- substitution impurity
-- 0 D
Term
Linear Defect
Definition
Groups of atoms in irregular positions
- screw
- edge dislocation

-- 1D
Term
Planar Defects
Definition
The interfaces between homogeneous regions of the material
- Grain Boundaries
- External Surfaces
Term
Volume Defects
Definition
Extended Defects
- pores
- cracks

-- 3D
Term
Diffusion
Definition
Material transport through atomic motion. Those materials which are not homogeneous can be made homogeneous though diffusion
-- must have a high temperature to overcome atomic barriers
Term
Vacancy Diffusion
Definition
to jump from lattice site to lattice site atoms need activation energy (thermal energy from atomic vibrations)
Term
Vacancy
Definition
Absences of an atom from its normal location in a perfect crystal

the number of vacancies increases with the temperature
Term
Point defects do what to the lattice
Definition
introduce distortions. These distortions can feel and interact with each other and external stresses
Term
Defects
Definition
impede dislocations and strengthen a material
Term
Increasing Strength
Definition
- Work Hardening
- Alloy
- Smaller Grain Size
- Two Structures
Term
Rayleigh's Criterion
Definition

can not interrogate a material unless the light source is small enough. X-rays are best

 

your resolution is only limited by diffraction and the resolution is on the order of the wavelength

Term
The lower the modulus or spring constant
Definition
the more the object will streach
Term
Young's Modulus
Definition

Stress over strain

 

rise over run

Term
strain =
Definition
stretch 
Term
stress
Definition
applied pulling force or strength
Term
Where is the work hardening region on the stress strain curve
Definition
after the yield strength point 
Term
When will a metal be brittle? how can this be fixed
Definition
when there are too many dislocations in the lattice. It can be fixed by putting the metal into a furnace but NOT necessarily melting it. During this process the dislocations should destroy each other. This is explained by the second law of thermodynamics
Term
What does a dislocation look like on his diagram thing
Definition
sort of like you would expect a couple of vacancies to look
Term
What does a model of a dislocation look like
Definition
like a 3D representation of a block of atoms but in the center there is a group of (yellow) atoms which throw off the symmetry  
Term
dislocations are responsible for what kind of deformations 
Definition
plastic deformations (irreversible)
Term
What is behind bending a wire back and forth until it breaks?
Definition
Dislocations are moving throughout the structure
Term
What types of metals to dislocations have a difficult time moving through
Definition

FCC Bronze

BCC Iron

Stone

Term
When is Bragg's law satisfied?
Definition
When intensity spikes in a sharp peak (i.e. the wavelengths are in sync)
Term
Dislocations allow a material to do what more easily than the theory would think?
Definition
Allows the material to plastically deform
Term
Another def of Stress in case you weren't confused enough already!
Definition
Force per unit area
Term
Another def of strain
Definition
change in size divided by original size
Term
According to Hooke's law what is proportional?
Definition

Stress and elastic strain

 

omg you already have this card... play it again, Sam. Play it as time goes by

 

or play it, Sam, play it as time goes by... whichever floats your boat... need to study... concentration... 64...? NO! that's not what I want... I can haz veggie burger? 

Term
What is the constant in Hooke's law called?
Definition

Young's modulus

 

symbol -- E

Term
What strength reducing deformation increases with temperature in metals and can do a great deal of damage?
Definition

Creep

 

The slow deformation of a material through stresses
