For each of the following pairs of polymers, plot and label
schematic stress-strain curves on the same
graph [i.e. make separate plots for parts (a), (b) and (c)].
(a) Polychloroprene rubber having a number-average molecular
weight of 100,000 g/mol and 15% of available sites cross-linked;
liner polypropylene having a number-average molecular weight of
150,000 g/mol.
Sketch example stress strain curves for the following material
properties (2 curves on each graph):
Graph 1: Brittle and Ductile
Graph 2: strong and weak (relative)
Graph 3: Non-linear and linear material
(c) Draw a schematic graph of resolved shear stress versus shear
strain for a single crystal of a pure metal. Clearly label the
point of the critical resolved shear stress and the three
subsequent stages of dislocation behaviour. Describe these three
stages.
(d) Explain why the critical resolved shear stress is much lower
than the theoretical strength, based on the force required to break
atomic bonds within the structure.
QUESTION 1
The material that has the lowest stress per unit of strain
diagram is:
Wood
Cast Iron
Concrete
High strength steel
QUESTION 2
Aluminum Metals subjected to loads:
Do not exhibit a clearly defined yield point compared to
steel.
Have a greater difference between tensile and yield strengths
compared to steel.
Have a Modulus of elasticity one-third greater than structural
steel.
Have a coefficient of Thermal expansion one-half that of
structural steel.
QUESTION 3
An alloying element is any...
7. Draw one stress strain diagram for ductile material and
indicate the elastic, plastic region, toughness and resilience?
-Explain the mechanism of necking in details?
9. What is the unite for stress and strain?
10. What are the mechanical requirements to design a material
for high temperature applications?
The figure shows an approximate plot of stress versus strain for
a spider-web thread, out to the point of breaking at a strain of
2.05. The vertical axis scale is set by a = 0.130
GN/m2,b = 0.460 GN/m2, and
c = 0.840 GN/m2. Assume that the thread has an
initial length of 0.780 cm, an initial cross-sectional area of 8.00
× 10-12 m2, and (during stretching) a
constant volume. The strain on the thread is the ratio of the...
: In mechanics, this quantity represents the total area under
the stress–strain diagram, and therefore it indicates the maximum
amount of strain energy per unit volume the material can absorb
just before it fractures. Certainly this becomes important when
designing members that may be accidentally overloaded. Which type
of modulus is it? Describe it.
