Week 05 - Mechanical Properties Part 1

This document provides an overview of mechanical properties of materials when subjected to forces or stresses. It defines key terms like engineering stress, engineering strain, modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, ductility, and the differences between elastic and plastic deformation. It describes different types of forces (tension, compression, shear, torsion) and how stresses are calculated based on load and material geometry. Graphs of stress-strain curves are shown and properties like modulus of elasticity, yield strength, tensile strength are explained. The document is intended to establish foundational concepts for understanding how materials respond mechanically to external forces.

• Differentiate between Elastic & Plastic
deformation
• Define the Toughness and Ductility of materials
Introduction

• Mechanical properties determine a material’s behavior


when subjected to mechanical stresses. Properties
include elastic modulus, hardness, ductility and various
measures of strength.
• Engineers are primarily concerned with the development
and design of machines, structures etc.
• These products are often subjected to forces/
deformations, resulting in stresses/strains, the properties
of materials under the action of forces and deformations
becomes an important engineering consideration.
Introduction

• The response of a material to applied forces depends on


the type and nature of the bond and the structural
arrangement of atoms, molecules or ions.
Stress vs Strain

• If a load applied to the material is static or


changing slowly with time and it is applied
uniformly on the surface of interest, then we can
test the behavior of the material under applied
load by a test called “stress-strain” test

Types of Forces
Stress vs Strain

• The load and deformation relationship depends on the


geometrical factors of the specimen; therefore,
normalization of them to geometric dimensions are
helpful in comparing the materials

applies in the linear region of the curve. If a specimen is
loaded within this linear region, the material will return to
its exact same condition if the load is removed

Factors need to
consider
• Temperature – Increase T will decrease TS, YM
but increase EB
• Strain rate (for example for plastic 5mm/min) –
Increasing crosshead speed will give higher TS
but lower EB
• There are some standards –ASTM, ISO to select
proper sample dimension and test condition for
particular type of materials
• For example strain rate should be such that the
sample breaks within 2-5 minutes (for composite
5mm/min)

this energy recovered.

True Stress vs True
Strain
• During the tensile test, after necking of the
sample occurs, the engineering stress (ES)
decreases as the strain increases, leading to a
maximum ES in the stress-strain curve. Thus,
once necking begins during the tensile test, the
True Stress is higher than the ES.

Summary

• Stress and strain: These are size-independent


measures of load and displacement, respectively.
• Elastic behavior: This reversible behavior often
shows a linear relation between stress and strain.
To minimize deformation, select a material with a
large elastic modulus (E or G).
• Plastic behavior: This permanent deformation
behavior occurs when the tensile (or compressive)
uniaxial stress reaches sy.
• Toughness: The energy needed to break a unit
volume of material.
• Ductility: The plastic strain at failure.
