Term

 

The stress at which plastic deformation begins is called the

Definition

 

Yield Strength

 

Term
The stress at which the maximum force that can be withstood by either a ductile or a brittle material is called the
Definition
Tensile Strength
Term
The slope of the stress-strain curve, which is determined primarily by the strength of the atomic bonds within the material, is called the
Definition
Modulus of Elasticity
Term
When you design a part or select a material for a given application, you almost always want to be sure that the stress acting on the material during its service
Definition
is below the yield strength
Term
Necking of a ductile material occurs when the applied stress
Definition
reaches the tensile strength
Term
The stiffness of a material is most closely related to
Definition
the modulus of elasticity
Term
For a given applied force, we expect that the true stress acting on a material will be
Definition
higher than the engineering stress
Term
almost always, as the temperature increases,
Definition
the ductility increases
Term
Hooke's law only applies
Definition
the elastic portion of a stress-strain curve
Term
We would expect that the percent reduction in area will be larger for a material that
Definition
breaks after a large amount of necking has occured
Term
If we want to shape a metal into a complex part by bending, forging, or some other metal-working process, we must
Definition
always be sure that the stress applied during the metal working process is above the yield strength
Term
Which hardness test measures the depth of penetration to determine the hardness of a material?
Definition
Rockwell Hardness
Term
The tensile strength of a steel specimen with a measured hardness of 240 BHN is approximately
Definition
120,000 PSI
Term
When a component possesses a flat fracture with little or no plastic deformation, it is said to have fractured by which of the following
Definition
Brittle
Term
An irregular, granular appearance on a fracture surface is normally indicative of
which type of fracture?
Definition
Ductile
Term
Chevron markings and radial lines typically occur with which of the following types of
fracture?
Definition
Brittle
Term
Chevron markings on a component point back to
Definition
The point of initiation of the crack
Term
Beach marks are commonly seen on which type of fracture surface?
Definition
Fatigue
Term
Each striation on a fracture surface corresponds with one loading cycle.
Definition
True
Term
Striations are visible with the naked eye.
Definition
False
Term
Particularly in brittle fracture, the crack propagates in a direction
Definition
perpendicular to the applied tensile stress
Term
A ductile cup-and-cone fracture is typically produced
Definition
through microvoid coalescence
Term
The plane strain fracture toughness K1c is
Definition
a material property
Term
Which of the following is not a factor that affects whether or not a material will fracture in a ductile or brittle manner?
Definition
all of these affect the mode of fracture
Term
Because of the nature of impact testing
Definition
the data should only be used qualitatively in design
Term
One of the most important properties obtained through impact testing is
Definition
the ductle-brittle transition temperature
Term
In which of the following metals would we not expect to see a ductile-brittle
transition?
Definition
aluminum
Term
One method to improve the fatigue life of a component is to
Definition
Impart residual compressive stresses at the surface of the part.
