physical properties
mechnial
electrical
thermal
stress
internal reaction to the external force
stress = force per unit area N/m^2
(megapascal MPa)
type of stress
tension
compressive
shear
- tension (elongation)
2 forces are directed away from each other in straight line. It stretches (elongates) the body
- compression
shrinkage
internal resistance is compressive stress
tension and compression of glass
glass does well in tension but not in compression
- shear
forces toward each other not in straight line.
ex: marginal ridges
strain
change in length of body when a stress is applied
body undergoes deformation when a force is applied to it.
strain equation
Deformation / original length
stress-strain curve
strain on x-axis, stress on y-axis
survivaility, breathability
elastic deformation
stress is proportional to strain
no permanent deformation is expected
area of curve before proportional limit
straight line on stress-strain curve
no permanent deformation
proportional limit (elastic limit)
maximum stress that a material will withstand before permanent deformation. (X-AXIS)
stress level where elastic deformation to plastic deformation
stress level where straight line to curve
plastic deformation
curve is not longer straight
material will not return to its original shape
Yield point
measure of point of deformation
what is the difference between yield point and proportional limit?
??
failure point
the point at which the material fractures
point where curve to straight
ultimate tensile strength
maximum stress required to fracture a structure
strength
ability of material to resist change
total strain
total amount material stretches
sum of elastic deformation, plastic deformation.
elasticity
property of having a constant ratio of stress to strain
stiff or flexible
plasticity
when the proportional limit is exceeded, the material exhibit plastic behavior
Ductile
exhibit large amount of plastic behavior
Brittle
exhibit no plastic behavior
