chapter 12 Flashcards
(35 cards)
What are the 5 major constraints? and like what are they. what kinda force
Compression - crushing force
Tension - pulling force
Deflection - bending force
Torsion - twisting force
Shearing - cutting or tearing force
Types of deformations? what do they do (3)
Elastic - Go back to their original shape when the constraint is removed
Plastic - Permanent change of shape, even when the constraint is removed
Fracture - The constraint is so intense, the material breaks
PROPERTY - WHAT IS IT??
Hardness
Ability to resist indentation or abstraction
PROPERTY - WHAT IS IT??
Elasticity
ability to return to their original shapes after undergoing a constraint
PROPERTY - WHAT IS IT??
Resilience
Ability to resist shocks w/o breaking
PROPERTY - WHAT IS IT??
stiffness
ability to retain their shapes when subjected to various constraints
PROPERTY - WHAT IS IT??
fragility
inability to resist deformation impact
PROPERTY - WHAT IS IT??
ductility
ability to be stretched w/o breaking (metals)
PROPERTY - WHAT IS IT??
malleability
ability to be flattened or bent (metals)
as for the “other properties”, what are they? (5)
ex. resistance to corrosion
resistance to corrosion
electrical conductivity
thermal conductivity
chemical neutrality
Resistance to degradation
Categories of materials (5)
Wood and modified wood
Ceramics
Metals and Allots
Plastics
Composites
Hard wood or soft wood?
Deciduous wood that grows slowly. species like maple and oak
hard wood
Hard wood or soft wood?
Coniferous trees.
Fast growth, species like pine and spruce
Softwood
What is modified wood?
What are some examples of modified wood?
Wood chips or particles with glue or plastic
Examples such as plywood, particleboard, fiberboard
What can cause wood degridation?
How to stop this?
Can degrade due to organic origin, so can rapidly be degraded by fungi, microorganisms and insects.
stop this by protecting by staining the wood, or pressure treatments
What kinds of properties does wood have
Hardness, elasticity, resistance to fracture, lightness
low thermal conductivity (insulates)
What are ceramics?
examples of ceramics?
Solid inorganic material made by heating clay, sand etc
ex brick, tiles, glass, concret
What can degrade ceramics?
how to stop this?
Acid rain and pollution dissolve em slowly
generally we do not protect them sooooo
What are Metals and Alloys?
Properties of them?
Extracted from mineral ore. Alloys are MIXTURES of METALS designed to take advantage of different properties.
Properties such as good conductors of heat and electricity
How do metals degrade?
How to stop this?
Prone to oxidation ahhh
Stop by protecting will oil, paint and enamel. metallic coatings of zinc or chrome. heat treatments like tempering can also be used to enhance properties
What are plastics?
properties?
materials made from long chains of polymers (oil based) which can be combined with other materials to gain the desired properties.
Describe:
thermoplastic
thermosetting plastic
thermoplastic: can be reheated, making it soft and easily reshaped
thermosetting plastic: once heated and set, cannot be reset
how does plastic degrade?
uv light and slow oxidation
describe composites, give examples
what is a matrice?
what is a reinforcement?
comp: combinations made from multiple materials designed to enhance the properties of each (fibreglass, carbon steel)
mat: the main component of the combination: concrete in a basement wall
reinfo: the component that adds an enhancement: like rebar to strengthen the concrete
