  2. Chapter Outline • Terminology for Mechanical Properties • The Tensile Test: Stress-Strain Diagram • Properties Obtained from a Tensile Test • True Stress and True Strain • The Bend Test for Brittle Materials • Hardness of Materials

  3. Questions to Think About • Stress and strain: What are they and why are they used instead of load and deformation? • Elastic behavior: When loads are small, how much deformation occurs? What materials deform least? • Plastic behavior: At what point do dislocations cause permanent deformation? What materials are most resistant to permanent deformation? • Toughness and ductility: What are they and how do we measure them? • Ceramic Materials: What special provisions/tests are made for ceramic materials?

  6. Important Mechanical Properties from a Tensile Test • Young's Modulus: This is the slope of the linear portion of the stress-strain curve, it is usually specific to each material; a constant, known value. • Yield Strength: This is the value of stress at the yield point, calculated by plotting young's modulus at a specified percent of offset (usually offset = 0.2%). • Ultimate Tensile Strength: This is the highest value of stress on the stress-strain curve. • Percent Elongation: This is the change in gauge length divided by the original gauge length.

  7. Terminology • Load - The force applied to a material during testing. • Strain gage or Extensometer - A device used for measuring change in length (strain). • Engineering stress - The applied load, or force, divided by the original cross-sectional area of the material. • Engineering strain - The amount that a material deforms per unit length in a tensile test.

  8. Elastic Deformation 1. Initial 2. Small load 3. Unload Elastic means reversible.

  9. Plastic Deformation (Metals) 1. Initial 2. Small load 3. Unload Plastic means permanent.

  10. c07f10ab Typical stress-strain behavior for a metal showing elastic and plastic deformations, the proportional limit P and the yield strength σy, as determined using the 0.002 strain offset method (where there is noticeable plastic deformation). P is the gradual elastic to plastic transition.

  11. Plastic Deformation (permanent) • From an atomic perspective, plastic deformation corresponds to the breaking of bonds with original atom neighbors and then reforming bonds with new neighbors. • After removal of the stress, the large number of atoms that have relocated, do not return to original position. • Yield strength is a measure of resistance to plastic deformation.

  14. Permanent Deformation • Permanent deformation for metals is accomplished by means of a process called slip, which involves the motion of dislocations. • Most structures are designed to ensure that only elastic deformation results when stress is applied. • A structure that has plastically deformed, or experienced a permanent change in shape, may not be capable of functioning as intended.

  17. Stress-Strain Diagram (cont) • Elastic Region (Point 1 –2) • - The material will return to its original shape • after the material is unloaded( like a rubber band). • - The stress is linearly proportional to the strain in • this region. or : Stress(psi) E : Elastic modulus (Young’s Modulus) (psi) : Strain (in/in) • Point 2 : Yield Strength : a point where permanent • deformation occurs. ( If it is passed, the material will • no longer return to its original length.)

  18. Stress-Strain Diagram (cont) • Strain Hardening • - If the material is loaded again from Point 4, the • curve will follow back to Point 3 with the same • Elastic Modulus (slope). • - The material now has a higher yield strength of • Point 4. • - Raising the yield strength by permanently straining • the material is called Strain Hardening.

  19. Stress-Strain Diagram (cont) • Tensile Strength (Point 3) • - The largest value of stress on the diagram is called • Tensile Strength(TS) or Ultimate Tensile Strength • (UTS) • - It is the maximum stress which the material can • support without breaking. • Fracture (Point 5) • - If the material is stretched beyond Point 3, the stress • decreases as necking and non-uniform deformation • occur. • - Fracture will finally occur at Point 5.

  23. Yield Strength: Comparison Room T values a = annealed hr = hot rolled ag = aged cd = cold drawn cw = cold worked qt = quenched & tempered

  24. Tensile Strength, TS • After yielding, the stress necessary to continue plastic deformation in metals increases to a maximum point (M) and then decreases to the eventual fracture point (F). • All deformation up to the maximum stress is uniform throughout the tensile sample. • However, at max stress, a small constriction or neck begins to form. • Subsequent deformation will be confined to this neck area. • Fracture strength corresponds to the stress at fracture. • Region between M and F: • Metals: occurs when noticeable necking starts. • • Ceramics: occurs when crack propagation starts. • • Polymers: occurs when polymer backbones are aligned and about to break.

  25. In an undeformed thermoplastic polymer tensile sample, • the polymer chains are randomly oriented. • When a stress is applied, a neck develops as chains become aligned locally. The neck continues to grow until the chains in the entire gage length have aligned. • The strength of the polymer is increased

  26. Tensile Strength: Comparison Room T values Based on data in Table B4, Callister 6e. a = annealed hr = hot rolled ag = aged cd = cold drawn cw = cold worked qt = quenched & tempered AFRE, GFRE, & CFRE = aramid, glass, & carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites, with 60 vol% fibers.

  27. Engineering Stress • Tensile stress, s: • Shear stress, t: Stress has units: N/m2 or lb/in2 27

  31. Ductility, %EL Ductility is a measure of the plastic deformation that has been sustained at fracture: A material that suffers very little plastic deformation is brittle. • Another ductility measure: • • Ductility may be expressed as either percent elongation (% plastic strain at fracture) or percent reduction in area. • %AR > %EL is possible if internal voids form in neck.

  32. Toughness c07f13 Toughness is the ability to absorb energy up to fracture (energy per unit volume of material). A “tough” material has strength and ductility. Approximated by the area under the stress-strain curve. Lower toughness: ceramics Higher toughness: metals

  33. Toughness • Energy to break a unit volume of material • Approximate by the area under the stress-strain curve. 21

  34. c07f05 Linear Elastic Properties s = Ee • Hooke's Law: n = ex/ey • Poisson's ratio: metals: n ~ 0.33 ceramics: n~0.25 polymers: n~0.40 Modulus of Elasticity, E: (Young's modulus) Units: E: [GPa] or [psi] n: dimensionless

  35. c07prob Engineering Strain Strain is dimensionless. 35

  36. c07f09 Axial (z) elongation (positive strain) and lateral (x and y) contractions (negative strains) in response to an imposed tensile stress. 36

  37. True Stress and True Strain • True stress The load divided by the actual cross-sectional area of the specimen at that load. • True strain The strain calculated using actual and not original dimensions, given by εt ln(l/l0). • The relation between the true stress-true strain diagram and engineering stress-engineering strain diagram. • The curves are identical to the yield point.

  39. Example 2: Young’s Modulus - Aluminum Alloy From the data in Example 1, calculate the modulus of elasticity of the aluminum alloy.

  40. Example 2: Young’s Modulus - Aluminum Alloy - continued • Use the modulus to determine the length after deformation of a bar of initial length of 50 in. • Assume that a level of stress of 30,000 psi is applied.

  42. Example 3: True Stress and True Strain Calculation Compare engineering stress and strain with true stress and strain for the aluminum alloy in Example 1 at (a) the maximum load. The diameter at maximum load is 0.497 in. and at fracture is 0.398 in. Example 3 SOLUTION

  47. Mechanical Behavior - Ceramics • The stress-strain behavior of brittle ceramics is not usually obtained by a tensile test. • It is difficult to prepare and test specimens with specific geometry. • It is difficult to grip brittle materials without fracturing them. • Ceramics fail after roughly 0.1% strain; specimen have to be perfectly aligned.

  48. The Bend Test for Brittle Materials • Bend test - Application of a force to the center of a bar that is supported on each end to determine the resistance of the material to a static or slowly applied load. • Flexural strength or modulus of rupture -The stress required to fracture a specimen in a bend test. • Flexural modulus - The modulus of elasticity calculated from the results of a bend test, giving the slope of the stress-deflection curve.
