Term
proportional limit
Definition
This is the point at which the curve first begins to deviate from a straight line.
Term
proportional limit
Definition
No permanent set will be observable
in the specimen if the load is removed at this point
Term
proportional limit
Definition
Point pl
Term
deform, brittle
Definition
Ductile materials _________ much more
than ________ materials
Term
Young’s modulus or the modulus of elasticity
Definition
the slope of the linear part of the stress-strain
curve
Term
Young’s modulus or the modulus of elasticity
Definition
is a measure of the
stiffness of a material
Term
elastic limit
Definition
If the specimen is loaded beyond this
point, the deformation is said to be plastic
Term
elastic limit
Definition
If the specimen is loaded beyond this
point,the material will take on a permanent set
when the load is removed
Term
yield point
Definition
a point at which the strain begins to
increase very rapidly without a corresponding increase in stress
Term
yield strength
Definition
Point a corresponds to a definite
or stated amount of permanent set, usually 0.2 percent of the original gauge length
Term
ultimate, or tensile, strength S u or S ut
Definition
is the maximum stress reached on the stress-strain diagram
Term
stress
Definition
something that occurs in a part, usually as
a result of its being assembled into a machine and loaded.
Term
strength
Definition
a built-in property of a mate-
rial, or of a mechanical element,
Term
shear modulus or the modulus of rigidity
Definition
the coefficient of elasticity for a shearing force
Term
Modulus of Rigidity:
Definition
The ratio of shear stress to the displacement per unit sample length (shear strain)
Term
modulus of rupture
Definition
Ultimate strength determined in a flexure or torsion test
Term
modulus of rupture
Definition
maximum shear stress in the extreme fiber of a circular member at failure.
Term
torsional yield strength
Definition
The maximum point on a torque-twist diagram,
Term
resilience
Definition
The capacity of a material to absorb energy within its elastic range
Term
modulus of resilience
Definition
the energy absorbed per
unit volume without permanent deformation, and is equal to the area under the stress-
strain curve up to the elastic limit.
Term
toughness
Definition
capacity of a material to absorb energy without fracture
Term
modulus of toughness
Definition
the energy absorbed per unit
volume without fracture, which is equal to the total area under the stress-strain curve up
to the fracture point
Term
Cold working
Definition
the process of plastic straining below the recrystallization temperature
in the plastic region of the stress-strain diagram
Term
strain-hardened
Definition
material now has a higher yield point, is less ductile as a result of a reduction in
strain capacity, and is said to be
Term
% reduction in area
Definition
a measure of ductility
Term
cold-work factor W
Definition
the area after the load P i has been released
Term
Hardness
Definition
The resistance of a material to penetration by a pointed tool
Term
Rockwell hardness
Definition
scale based on the indentation hardness of a material
Term
Rockwell hardness
Definition
determines the hardness by measuring the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load compared to the penetration made by a preload
Term
Brinell hardness
Definition
characterizes the indentation hardness of materials through the scale of penetration of an indenter, loaded on a material test-piece.
Term
Hardness testing
Definition
provides a convenient and nondestructive means of estimating the
strength properties of materials
Term
impact load
Definition
An external force applied to a structure or part
Term
impact load
Definition
if the time of
application is less than one-third the lowest natural period of vibration of the part or
structure an external force applied to a structure or part is
Term
Charpy or Izod notched bar test
Definition
utilize bars of
specified geometries to determine brittleness and impact strength
Term
Charpy or Izod notched bar test
Definition
utilize bars of
specified geometries and swinging pendulum to determine brittleness and impact strength
Term
impact value
Definition
the energy absorbed by the specime in a Charpy or Izod test
Term
strength and ductility
Definition
what properties are affected by the temperature of the
operating environment
Term
creep
Definition
continuous deformation under load
Term
creep
Definition
specimens can be permanently
deformed during the tests, even though the actual stresses are less than the
yield strength of the material obtained from short-time tests made at the same temperature.
