    Study Notes

    Simple Compression

    • Simple compression is a stress state where the force is applied perpendicular to a surface, causing the material to compress.

    Elastic Stored Energy

    • The area under the stress-strain curve represents the stored energy per unit volume of the material.
    • The maximum elastic (recoverable) energy stored corresponds to an applied stress equal to the elastic limit.

    Hooke's Law

    • Stress is proportional to strain in the elastic region.
    • The constant of proportionality is the elastic modulus (Young's Modulus or stiffness, E).

    Stress-Strain (Tensile) Testing

    • Tensile testing is used to determine the mechanical properties of materials like yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and ductility.
    • An extensometer is used to measure small displacements accurately in order to measure the elastic modulus.

    Von Mises Stress Yield Criterion

    • The Von Mises stress yield criterion is a way to predict when a material will yield under multiaxial stress conditions.
    • It is based on the idea that yielding occurs when the distortion energy in a material reaches a critical value.

    Ductility

    • Ductility is the amount of plastic deformation a material can withstand without rupture.
    • It is an important property of most metal alloys.

    Toughness

    • Toughness is the resistance to fracture of a material when stressed.
    • It is defined as the energy needed to break a unit volume of material.
    • Toughness is represented by the area under the stress-strain curve.

    Hardness

    • Hardness is a material's resistance to indentation or localized plastic deformation.

    Impact Testing

    • Charpy impact testing is used to determine the energy absorbed during fracture, which is an indicator of toughness.
    • The energy absorbed is calculated as the difference in potential energy of the pendulum before and after impact.
