    Study Notes

    Mechanical Properties of Matter

    • Mechanical properties describe how materials behave and are used.
    • These properties help identify and understand the usefulness of materials.
    • Mechanical properties describe how materials react to forces (loads).
    • The properties of a solid under applied load depend on atomic binding forces.

    The Concept of Force

    • Force is a push or pull that causes a change in an object's motion.
    • Force can be associated with muscular activity.
    • Force can involve a change in an object's velocity (speed or direction).
    • Forces can cause motion or not, like pushing a large rock.

    Stress and Strain

    • Applying forces deforms materials, to varying degrees.
    • Deformation can be small or large, and depends on the material.
    • A restoring force develops in the material, opposing the applied force.
    • Stress is the restoring force per unit area.

    Types of Stress

    • Tension stress: Elongation of an object due to forces pulling in opposite directions.
    • Compression stress: Shortening of an object due to forces pushing in opposite directions.
    • Shear stress: Forces acting parallel, but not in the same straight line.
    • Torsion stress: Twisting force on an object.
    • Bending stress: Forces causing bending in an object.

    Strain

    • Strain measures the deformation of a material under stress.
    • It's the fractional change in length of an object.
    • Strain is calculated as the change in length divided by the original length.
    • Strain is unitless.

    Stress-Strain Curves

    • Stress-strain curves graph the relationship between stress and strain.
    • They display material behavior under different loads.
    • Key points on the curve represent important material properties.

    Proportional Limit

    • Stress is directly proportional to strain in the initial portion of the curve.
    • Stress = strain * constant (elastic modulus) in this area only.

    Elastic Limit

    • Maximum stress without permanent deformation (material returns to original shape once force is removed.)

    Yield Point

    • Point where plastic deformation begins; the material deforms permanently.
    • A small amount of permanent strain has occurred.

    Ultimate Stress

    • Highest stress a material can withstand before failure.

    Fracture/Breaking Point

    • Point at which the material breaks or fractures.

    Elastic Modulus

    • Ratio of stress to strain in the elastic region.
    • A measure of a material's stiffness.

    Brittle Materials

    • Experience little or no plastic deformation before fracture.
    • Have similar values for elastic limit, yield point, ultimate strength, and breaking point.

    Ductile Materials

    • Can deform a significant amount before fracturing.
    • Have a distinct difference between ultimate strength and breaking point.
    • Exhibit both elastic and plastic deformation

    Viscosity and Poiseuille's Law

    • Viscosity is the internal resistance to flow (fluid friction).
    • Higher viscosity means more resistance to flow.
    • Poiseuille's law describes laminar fluid flow in a tube.
    • Fluid flow depends on pressure difference and resistance.
    • Flow = Pressure Difference/Resistance

    Surface Tension

    • Causes the free surface of a liquid to act like a stretched membrane.
    • Result of cohesive forces among the liquid's molecules.
    • Surface tension opposes stretching or expanding the liquid's surface area.

    Intermolecular Forces

    • Cohesive forces: Attraction between molecules of the same substance.
    • Adhesive forces: Attraction between molecules of different substances.

    Chapter One Problems

    • A series of problems related to various application of mechanical properties.
