Engineering Material
Test 2 Definitions
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Fatigue Limit | Limiting stress value below which fatigue will not occur. |
Yield Strength | Strength where noticeable plastic deformation occurs; defined by a 0.2% offset line. |
Plastic Deformation | Deformation in which stress and strain are no longer proportional; irreversible process. |
True Stress | Instantaneous Load divided by instantaneous cross-sectional area. |
Fatigue Strength | The stress level at which failure will occur for some specified number of cycles. |
Precipitation-Hardening | Strengthening method that relies on forming hard secondary particles. |
Fracture Mechanics | The study of material behavior in the presence of a crack. |
Toughness | Capacity of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform before fracturing |
Strain Hardening | Phenomenon by which a ductile metal becomes harder and stronger as it is plastically deformed |
Ultimate Strength | The maximum value on the engineering stress-strain curve |
Engineering Stress | Instantaneous load divided by original cross-sectional area |
Slip System | The combination of the slip plane and the slip direction |
Elastic Deformation | Deformation in which stress and strain are proportional; reversible process |
Solid-Solution-Strengthening | Adding impurity atoms to distort the lattice and generate lattice strains which strengthens the material |
Hardness | Measure of a material's resistance to localized plastic deformation; indention, or scratching |
Resilience | Capacity of a material to store energy when it is deformed elastically and the, upon loading, to have this energy recovered |
Ductility | Measure of the degree of plastic deformation that has been sustained at fracture |
Charpy/Izod Test | Standard Tests that are used to measure impact energy |
Recrystallization | The formation of a new set of strain-free and equiaxed grains hat have low dislocations densities |
Bond Energy | The energy required to separate two atoms to an infinite distance |
