MRII - rev mats
deals with the relation between the externally applied loads and their internal effects on bodies assumed not ideally rigid.
Strength of Materials
often refers to various methods of calculating stresses in structural members, such as beams, columns and shaft
Strength of Materials
unit strength of a material; internal resistance to the action of external forces; force per unit area.
Stress
the stress state when the material tends to contract/compact.
Compressive stress
a loading that tends to produce stretching of a material by the application of axially directed pulling forces
Tensile stress
happens when a force is applied to produce a sliding failure of a material along a plane that is parallel to the direction of the applied force.
Shear stress
the change in geometry when stress is applied (in the form of force loading, gravitational field, acceleration, thermal expansion, etc.). _______ is expressed by the displacement field of the material.
Deformation
the greatest unit stress a material can withstand without rupture.
Ultimate Stress
compressive stress exerted on an external surface of a body by another body
Bearing stress
the lowest stress that gives permanent deformation in a material.
Yield strength
measure of the ability of the material to absorb and release energy in the plastic range.
Toughness
a limit state of tensile stress that leads to tensile failure in the manner of ductile failure (yield as the first stage of failure, some hardening in the second stage and break after a possible “neck” formation)
Tensile strength or ultimate tensile strength
mathematical term to express the trend of the deformation change among the material field.
strain
limit state of compressive stress that leads to compressive failure in the manner of ductile failure (infinite theoretical yield) or in the manner of brittle failure (rupture as the result of crack propagation, or sliding along a weak plane
Compressive strength
Often measured with the Izod impact strength test or Charpy impact test, both of which measure the impact energy required to fracture a sample.
Impact strength
the capability of the material in withstanding the suddenly applied loads in terms of energy.
Impact strength
term to describe the magnitude to which a structural element bends under a load.
deflection
a measure of the strength of a material or a component under cyclic loading, and is usually more difficult to assess than the static strength measures
Fatigue strength
the relation between applied stress and the resulting strain is directly proportional (up to a certain limit), and a graph representing those two quantities is
a straight line.
straight line
ratio of ultimate strength to allowable strength
Factor of safety
the ability of a material to return to its previous shape after stress is released
Elasticity
displacements of a specimen (for example a bar element) it is expressed as the quotient of the displacement and the length of the specimen
uniaxial loading
indicates the ability of the material to deform in the plastic range without breaking.
Ductility
also known as “Young’s Modulus” which is the slope of the line in a stress-strain graph.
