Fundamentals of mechanical properties of metals Prof. Pasquale Russo Spena Mechanical Properties in Design and Manufacturing Mechanical properties determine a material’s behavior when subjected to mechanical stresses Properties include elastic modulus, ductility, hardness, and various measures of strength Resiseuze ) Dilemma: mechanical properties desirable to the mechanical designer, such as high strength, usually make manufacturing more difficult elevata resistenza The manufacturing engineer should appreciate the design viewpoint And the design engineer should be aware of the manufacturing viewpoint P. Russo Spena - Manufacturing and Assembly Technologies - a.a. 2023-24 2 Stress-Strain Deformation processes in manufacturing mainly involve strains of these types: a) Tensional (tensile stress), tend to stretch the material b) Compressional (compressive stresses), tend to squeeze it c) Torsional (shear stresses), tend to cause adjacent portions of material to slide against each other Linear deformation: Angular deformation: P. Russo Spena - Manufacturing and Assembly Technologies - a.a. 2023-24 3 Stress-Strain Relationships Tensile Test Gurre shoxz teloxmazione Stress-strain curve - basic relationship that describes mechanical properties for all three types of stress (tensile, compressive, and shear stresses). Tess diTraziome Tensile test is the most common test for studying stress-strain relationship, especially metals (simple and many info about metals can be evaluated). In the tensile test, a force pulls the material, elongating it (and reducing its diameter for the constancy of volume) up to fracture. P.
