Mechanical Properties of Metals
Strength/Stiffness/Elasticity/Plasticity:
• Strength
Ability to withstand an applied load without
failure or plastic deformation.
• Stiffness
Ability to return to its original form after being
subjected to a force.

Properties of Engineering Materials
Mechanical Properties of Metals
• Elasticity
The tendency of solid objects and materials to
return to their original shape after the external
forces (load) causing a deformation are removed.
An object is elastic when it comes back to its
original size and shape when the load is no longer
present.
• Plasticity
Ability of a solid material to undergo permanent
deformation, a non-reversible change of shape in
response to applied forces.

Mechanical Properties of Metals
Definition of Terms:
• Stress - Force or load per unit area of cross-
section over which the force or load is acting.
• Strain - Elongation change in dimension per unit
length.
• Young’s modulus - The slope of the linear part
of the stress-strain curve in the elastic region,
same as modulus of elasticity.
• Shear modulus (G) - The slope of the linear
part of the shear stress-shear strain curve.

Mechanical Properties of Metals
Simple Stress
• Is the strength of a material per unit area. It is
also called the unit strength.
Stress-Strain Diagram:
2.2 Stress-Strain Diagram:
Proportional Limit (Hooke's Law)
• From the origin O to the point called proportional limit, the stress-strain
curve is a straight line.
• This linear relation between elongation and the axial force causing was first
noticed by Sir Robert Hooke in 1678 and is called Hooke's Law that within
the proportional limit, the stress is directly proportional to strain or:
2. Shear Stress
The applied force is parallel to the resisting area.
3. Bearing Stress
It is the contact pressure between separate bodies.

Mechanical Properties of Metals
Normal Stress
• Formula: σ = P / A
Formula: σ = P / A
Solution: From σ = P / A
Materials Science and Engineering
Mechanical Properties of Metals
Simple Strain: (ε)
- unit deformation, ε
- is the ratio of the change in length caused by
the applied force, to the original length.
Note:
Load must be axial, the bar must have a uniform cross-
sectional area, and the stress must not exceed the
proportional limit.
Axial Deformation
Sample Problem 1:
A steel rod having a cross-sectional
area of 300 mm2 and a length of
150 m is suspended vertically from
one end. It supports a tensile load
of 20 kN at the lower end. If the
unit mass of steel is 7850 kg/m3
and E = 200 × 103 MN/m2, find
he total elongation of the rod.
Axial Deformation
Given:
Cross-sectional area = 300 mm2
Length = 150 m
Tensile load at the lower end = 20 kN
Unit mass of steel = 7850 kg/m3
E = 200 × 103 MN/m2
Required:
Total elongation of the rod
Axial Deformation
Solution:
Elongation due to its own weight (δ1):
δ1 = PL
Where: AE
P = W = 7850(1/1000)3(9.81)[300(150)(1000)]
P = 3,465.3825 N
L = 75(1000) = 75,000 mm
A = 300 mm2
E = 200,000 MPa
δ1 = PL = 4.33 mm
AE
Axial Deformation
Solution (cont’d):
Elongation due to applied load (δ2):
δ2 = PL
Where: AE
P = 20 kN = 20,000 N
L = 150 m = 150,000 mm
A = 300 mm2
E = 200,000 MPa
δ2 = (20,000)(150,000) = 50 mm
300(200,000)
So, Total elongation, (δT)
δT = δ1 + δ2 = 4.33 + 50 = 54.33 mm answer
