Whats the difference between fracture surfaces of ductile and
brittle materials? Whats the effect of axial load verse torsional
load on the fracture surface of ductile and brittle materials.
1. What is ductile fracture? What is brittle fracture? (10 pts)
8. Please describe the differences between ductile fracture and
brittle fracture. (10 pts)
Why are materials whose yield stresses are ighly strain rate
dependent more susceptible to brittle fracture than those materials
whose yield stresses do not exhibit marked starin rate dependce
Describe the micro-mechanism of fracture of (a) brittle material
and (b) ductile material. (c) What is the difference between
typical fracture surfaces of brittle and ductile materials?
Question 5
(a)(i) What theories of failure are used for? Ductile of
materials
and Brittle of materials?
(ii) List at least two factors that promote the transition
from ductile to brittle fracture?
(iii) Often, it is beneficial to know how many materials or
components can be combined without producing an additional phase.
When alloying elements are added to metal, solid or liquid
solutions can be formed.
For example, when we add sugar to water, sugar solution is
obtained. When we...
A) What are cryogenic materials? Show how ductile to
brittle transition zone takes place.
Determine its applicability.
B) Distinguish between thermosetting and thermoplastics
polymers.
C) Discuss the nitriding process.
