Q1. Describe mechanical properties of stress-strain
behavior of a polymer and a plastic (contrast with stress-strain
curves of ceramics and metals)
Q2. Describe variation of elastic/relaxation modulus
with temperature.
Q3. Describe viscoelasticity and examples of a
rubber/elastomer.
1. Explain the difference between Plane Stress problem and Plane
Strain Problem. Give an example.
2. What is the displacement boundary condition you would like to
apply after cutting through the symmetric line?
3. What are the FEA results we would be interested in 2-D
stress-strain analysis?
Describe the general theory of stress and strain. Explain the
properties and characteristics that can be determined using a
tensile test. Give general comparison of the different samples.
This should be 1-2 pages typed
By sketching the stress-strain curves for concrete and
reinforcement steel, explain the philosophy of idealization the
characteristic strength for concrete and reinforcement steel so to
be used in reinforced concrete design. Elaborate the importance of
such idealization in design.
A stress is suddenly applied to a muscle and then held constant
while strain and strain‐rate are measured (see right figure). The
phenomenon explaining the measured strain is called
__________________. As the stress is maintained and the strain
reaches steady state __________________ stresses dominate the total
stress.
a. Stress‐relaxation, elastic
b. Stress‐relaxation, viscous
c. Creep, viscous
d. Creep, elastic
Explain the stress- strain curve. Include the
differences between the elastic and plastic region and how does
this relate to material components of the body like
bones,ligaments/tendons.
Failure analysis testing is a mechanisms to understand how
mechanical stress develops under the complex loading of vehicle
dynamics to identify the cause of mechanical failure. It is known
that mechanical failures due to metal fatigue of a certain type of
jet engines follow a Poisson process. On the average based on the
past records, a jet engine will have a failure once every 5000
flight hours.
a. If such engines are scheduled for inspection and maintenance
after every 2500...
