Question
Answer
show Strain energy  
🗑
show Modulus of toughness  
🗑
represents the largest amount of internal strain energy per unit volume the material can absorb without causing any permanent damage to the material (ability to absorb energy in the elastic range)   show
🗑
show Elasticity  
🗑
refers to the ability of a material to deform in the plastic range without breaking   show
🗑
show Stiffness  
🗑
Inverse of stiffness   show
🗑
show Toughness  
🗑
show Hardness  
🗑
Any material that can be subjected to large strains before it fractures   show
🗑
Materials that exhibit little or no yielding before failure are referred to as _______ ________.   show
🗑
has the same physical and mechanical properties throughout its volume or material has the same composition at any point   show
🗑
has same physical and mechanical properties in all directions   show
🗑
has material properties at a particular point, which differ along three mutually orthogonal axes   show
🗑
show Prismatic  
🗑
show Creep  
🗑
When a material is subjected to repeated cycles of stress or strain, it causes its structure to break down, ultimately leading to fracture. This behavior is called _______.   show
🗑
lateral deflection that occurs when long slender members are subjected to an axial compressive force   show
🗑
show yielding, plastic deformation  
🗑
When yielding has ended, an increase in load can be supported by the specimen, until it reaches a maximum stress referred to as the ultimate stress   show
🗑

🗑
show Center of rigidity  
🗑
It is the point through which the resultant of the resistance to the applied lateral force acts.   show
🗑
point through which the resultant of the masses of a system acts   show
🗑
It is the point through which the applied lateral force acts.   show
🗑

🗑
show Weak Storey  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
