Materials and Mechanical Properties Flashcard

Front

What are the mechanical properties of a material?

Back

how a material reacts when a force is applied to it, and how much force a material can withstand without breaking.

Front

Modulus of elasticity

Back

The measure of how much a material resists a change in shape under an applied stress

Front

Creep strength in materials

Back

How much a material resists deforming under long term stress or extreme temperatures

Front

Toughness in materials

Back

The amount of energy a material can absorb before failure

Front

Fatigue strength in materials

Back

How many times a material can endure a certain amount of stress before failure

Front

What is hardness in materials?

Back

How much a material resists deforming in a particular location

Front

What is the stress-strain curve used for?

Back

Measuring the modulus of elasticity of a material

How long does concrete take to cure?

Back

The exact curing time depends on the concrete mix design, temperature, humidity, and wind conditions.
