Chapter 6: Behavior Of Material Under Mechanical Loads = Mechanical Properties.

• Stress and strain: • What are they and why are they used instead of load and

deformation

• Elastic behavior: • Recoverable Deformation of small magnitude

• Plastic behavior: • Permanent deformation We must consider which materials are most

resistant to permanent deformation?

• Toughness and ductility: • Defining how much energy that a material can take before failure.

How do we measure them?

• Hardness:• How we measure hardness and its relationship to material strength

Comparison of Units: SI and Engineering Common

Area mm2 or m2 in2

Stress Pascal (N/m2) or MPa (106 pascals)

psi (lbf/in2) or Ksi (1000

Strain (Unitless!) mm/mm or m/m in/in

Conversion Factors

SI to Eng. Common Eng. Common to SI

Force N*4.448 = lbf Lbf*0.2248 = N

Area I mm2*645.16 = in2 in2 *1.55x10-3 = mm2

Area II m2 *1550 = in2 in2* 6.452x10-4 = m2

Stress I - a Pascal * 1.450x10-4 = psi psi * 6894.76 = Pascal

Stress I - b Pascal * 1.450x10-7 = Ksi Ksi * 6.894 x106 = Pascal

Stress II - a MPa * 145.03 = psi psi * 6.89x 10-3 = MPa

Stress II - b MPa * 1.4503 x 10-1= Ksi Ksi * 6.89 = MPa

One other conversion: 1 GPa = 103 MPa

Geometric Considerations of the Stress State

The four types of forces act either parallel or perpendicular to the planar faces of the bodies.

Stress state is a function of the orientations of the planes upon which the stresses are taken to act.

- During Tensile Testing,Instantaneous load and displacement is measured

These load / extension graphs depend on the size of the specimen. E.g. if we carry out a tensile test on a specimen having a cross-sectional area twice that of another, you will require twice the load to produce the same elongation.

TOUGHNESS

High toughness = High yield strength and ductility

Dynamic (high strain rate) loading condition (Impact test)1. Specimen with notch- Notch toughness2. Specimen with crack- Fracture toughness

Is a measure of the ability of a material to absorb energy up to fracture

Important Factors in determining Toughness:

1. Specimen Geometry & 2. Method of load application

Static (low strain rate) loading condition (tensile stress-strain test)1. Area under stress vs strain curve up to the point of fracture.

Variability in Material Properties

Critical properties depend largely on sample flaws (defects, etc.). Most can exhibit Large sample to sample variability.

• Design uncertainties mean we do not push the limit!• Typically as engineering designers, we introduce a Factor of safety, N Often N is

between1.5 and 4

• Example: Calculate a diameter, d, to ensure that yield does not occur in the 1045 carbon steel rod below subjected to a

working load of 220,000 N. Use a factor of safety of 5.

Hardness• Resistance to permanently (plastically) indenting the surface of a product.• Large hardness means: --resistance to plastic deformation or cracking in compression. --better wear properties.

e.g., Hardened 10 mm sphere

Comparing Hardness Scales:

Page 48: Chapter 6: Behavior Of Material Under Mechanical Loads = Mechanical Properties. Stress and strain: What are they and why are they used instead of load

Inaccuracies in Rockwell (Brinell) hardness measurements may occur due to:

An indentation is made too near a specimen edge.

Two indentations are made too close to one another.

Specimen thickness should be at least ten times the indentation depth.

Allowance of at least three indentation diameters between the center on one indentation and the specimen edge, or to the center of a second indentation.

Testing of specimens stacked one on top of another is not recommended.

Indentation should be made into a smooth flat surface.

Correlation Between Hardness and Tensile Strength

Both measures the resistance to plastic deformation of a material.

• 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).

• Toughness: The energy needed to break a unit volume of material.

• Ductility: The plastic strain at failure.

Summary

• Plastic behavior: This permanent deformation behavior occurs when the tensile (or compressive) uniaxial stress reaches y.
