Questions to Think About
• Stress and strain: What are they and why are they
used instead of load and deformation?
• Elastic behavior: When loads are small, how much
deformation occurs? What materials deform least?
• Plastic behavior: At what point do dislocations
cause permanent deformation? What materials are
most resistant to permanent deformation?
• Toughness and ductility: What are they and how
do we measure them?
• Ceramic Materials: What special provisions/tests
are made for ceramic materials?

Important Mechanical Properties
from a Tensile Test
• Young's Modulus: This is the slope of the linear
portion of the stress-strain curve, it is usually
specific to each material; a constant, known value.
• Yield Strength: This is the value of stress at the
yield point, calculated by plotting young's modulus
at a specified percent of offset (usually offset =
0.2%).
• Ultimate Tensile Strength: This is the highest
value of stress on the stress-strain curve.
• Percent Elongation: This is the change in gauge
length divided by the original gauge length.
Terminology
 Load - The force applied to a material during
testing.
 Strain gage or Extensometer - A device used for
measuring change in length (strain).
 Engineering stress - The applied load, or force,
divided by the original cross-sectional area of the
material.
 Engineering strain - The amount that a material
deforms per unit length in a tensile test.

Plastic Deformation (Metals)
10
Typical stress-strain
behavior for a metal
showing elastic and
plastic deformations,
the proportional limit P
and the yield strength
σy, as determined
using the 0.002 strain
offset method (where there
is noticeable plastic deformation).
P is the gradual elastic
to plastic transition.
11
Plastic Deformation (permanent)
• From an atomic perspective, plastic
deformation corresponds to the breaking of
bonds with original atom neighbors and
then reforming bonds with new neighbors.
• After removal of the stress, the large
number of atoms that have relocated, do
not return to original position.
• Yield strength is a measure of resistance
to plastic deformation.

• Localized deformation of a ductile material during a
tensile test produces a necked region.
• The image shows necked region in a fractured sample
14
Permanent Deformation
• Permanent deformation for metals is
accomplished by means of a process called
slip, which involves the motion of dislocations.
• Most structures are designed to ensure that
only elastic deformation results when stress is
applied.
• A structure that has plastically deformed, or
experienced a permanent change in shape,
may not be capable of functioning as
intended.

• Strain Hardening
- If the material is loaded again from Point 4, the
curve will follow back to Point 3 with the same
Elastic Modulus (slope).
- The material now has a higher yield strength of
Point 4.
- Raising the yield strength by permanently straining
the material is called Strain Hardening.
Stress-Strain Diagram (cont)
• Tensile Strength (Point 3)
- The largest value of stress on the diagram is called
Tensile Strength(TS) or Ultimate Tensile Strength
(UTS)
- It is the maximum stress which the material can
support without breaking.
• Fracture (Point 5)
- If the material is stretched beyond Point 3, the stress
decreases as necking and non-uniform deformation
occur.
- Fracture will finally occur at Point 5.

Yield Strength: Comparison
24
• After yielding, the stress necessary to
continue plastic deformation in metals
increases to a maximum point (M) and
then decreases to the eventual fracture
point (F).
• All deformation up to the maximum
stress is uniform throughout the tensile
sample.
• However, at max stress, a small
constriction or neck begins to form.
• Subsequent deformation will be
confined to this neck area.
• Fracture strength corresponds to the
stress at fracture.
Region between M and F:
• Metals: occurs when noticeable necking starts.
• Ceramics: occurs when crack propagation starts.
• Polymers: occurs when polymer backbones are aligned and about to break.

•The curves are identical to the yield
point.

Mechanical Behavior - Ceramics
• The stress-strain behavior of brittle
ceramics is not usually obtained by a
tensile test.
1. It is difficult to prepare and test
specimens with specific geometry.
2. It is difficult to grip brittle materials without
fracturing them.
3. Ceramics fail after roughly 0.1% strain;
specimen have to be perfectly aligned.
The Bend Test for Brittle Materials
 Bend test - Application of a force to the center of a bar
that is supported on each end to determine the
resistance of the material to a static or slowly applied
load.
 Flexural strength or modulus of rupture -The stress
required to fracture a specimen in a bend test.
 Flexural modulus - The modulus of elasticity calculated
from the results of a bend test, giving the slope of the
stress-deflection curve.

Hardness of Materials
 Hardness test - Measures the resistance of a material to
penetration by a sharp object.
 Macrohardness - Overall bulk hardness of materials
measured using loads >2 N.
 Microhardness Hardness of materials typically measured
using loads less than 2 N using such test as Knoop
(HK).
 Nano-hardness - Hardness of materials measured at 1–
10 nm length scale using extremely small (~100 µN)
forces.
56
Hardness
• Hardness is a measure of a material’s resistance
to localized plastic deformation (a small dent or
scratch).
• Quantitative hardness techniques have been
developed where a small indenter is forced into
the surface of a material.
• The depth or size of the indentation is measured,
and corresponds to a hardness number.
• The softer the material, the larger and deeper the
indentation (and lower hardness number).
57
• Resistance to permanently indenting the surface.
• Large hardness means:
--resistance to plastic deformation or cracking in
compression.
--better wear properties.

(1 to 1000g)

• Stress and strain: These are size-independent
measures of load and displacement, respectively.
• Elastic behavior: This reversible behavior often
shows a linear relation between stress and strain.
To minimize deformation, select a material with a
large elastic modulus (E or G).
• Plastic behavior: This permanent deformation
behavior occurs when the tensile (or compressive)
uniaxial stress reaches y.
• Toughness: The energy needed to break a unit
volume of material.
• Ductility: The plastic strain at failure.

  • 3. 3 Questions to Think About • Stress and strain: What are they and why are they used instead of load and deformation? • Elastic behavior: When loads are small, how much deformation occurs? What materials deform least? • Plastic behavior: At what point do dislocations cause permanent deformation? What materials are most resistant to permanent deformation? • Toughness and ductility: What are they and how do we measure them? • Ceramic Materials: What special provisions/tests are made for ceramic materials?
  • 6. 6 Important Mechanical Properties from a Tensile Test • Young's Modulus: This is the slope of the linear portion of the stress-strain curve, it is usually specific to each material; a constant, known value. • Yield Strength: This is the value of stress at the yield point, calculated by plotting young's modulus at a specified percent of offset (usually offset = 0.2%). • Ultimate Tensile Strength: This is the highest value of stress on the stress-strain curve. • Percent Elongation: This is the change in gauge length divided by the original gauge length.
  • 7. Terminology  Load - The force applied to a material during testing.  Strain gage or Extensometer - A device used for measuring change in length (strain).  Engineering stress - The applied load, or force, divided by the original cross-sectional area of the material.  Engineering strain - The amount that a material deforms per unit length in a tensile test.

  • 11. 11 Plastic Deformation (permanent) • From an atomic perspective, plastic deformation corresponds to the breaking of bonds with original atom neighbors and then reforming bonds with new neighbors. • After removal of the stress, the large number of atoms that have relocated, do not return to original position. • Yield strength is a measure of resistance to plastic deformation.

  • 14. 14 Permanent Deformation • Permanent deformation for metals is accomplished by means of a process called slip, which involves the motion of dislocations. • Most structures are designed to ensure that only elastic deformation results when stress is applied. • A structure that has plastically deformed, or experienced a permanent change in shape, may not be capable of functioning as intended.

  • 18. • Strain Hardening - If the material is loaded again from Point 4, the curve will follow back to Point 3 with the same Elastic Modulus (slope). - The material now has a higher yield strength of Point 4. - Raising the yield strength by permanently straining the material is called Strain Hardening. Stress-Strain Diagram (cont)
  • 19. • Tensile Strength (Point 3) - The largest value of stress on the diagram is called Tensile Strength(TS) or Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) - It is the maximum stress which the material can support without breaking. • Fracture (Point 5) - If the material is stretched beyond Point 3, the stress decreases as necking and non-uniform deformation occur. - Fracture will finally occur at Point 5.

  • 24. 24 • After yielding, the stress necessary to continue plastic deformation in metals increases to a maximum point (M) and then decreases to the eventual fracture point (F). • All deformation up to the maximum stress is uniform throughout the tensile sample. • However, at max stress, a small constriction or neck begins to form. • Subsequent deformation will be confined to this neck area. • Fracture strength corresponds to the stress at fracture. Region between M and F: • Metals: occurs when noticeable necking starts. • Ceramics: occurs when crack propagation starts. • Polymers: occurs when polymer backbones are aligned and about to break.

  • 47. 47 Mechanical Behavior - Ceramics • The stress-strain behavior of brittle ceramics is not usually obtained by a tensile test. 1. It is difficult to prepare and test specimens with specific geometry. 2. It is difficult to grip brittle materials without fracturing them. 3. Ceramics fail after roughly 0.1% strain; specimen have to be perfectly aligned.
  • 48. The Bend Test for Brittle Materials  Bend test - Application of a force to the center of a bar that is supported on each end to determine the resistance of the material to a static or slowly applied load.  Flexural strength or modulus of rupture -The stress required to fracture a specimen in a bend test.  Flexural modulus - The modulus of elasticity calculated from the results of a bend test, giving the slope of the stress-deflection curve.

  • 55. Hardness of Materials  Hardness test - Measures the resistance of a material to penetration by a sharp object.  Macrohardness - Overall bulk hardness of materials measured using loads >2 N.  Microhardness Hardness of materials typically measured using loads less than 2 N using such test as Knoop (HK).  Nano-hardness - Hardness of materials measured at 1– 10 nm length scale using extremely small (~100 µN) forces.
  • 56. 56 Hardness • Hardness is a measure of a material’s resistance to localized plastic deformation (a small dent or scratch). • Quantitative hardness techniques have been developed where a small indenter is forced into the surface of a material. • The depth or size of the indentation is measured, and corresponds to a hardness number. • The softer the material, the larger and deeper the indentation (and lower hardness number).
  • 57. 57 • Resistance to permanently indenting the surface. • Large hardness means: --resistance to plastic deformation or cracking in compression. --better wear properties. e.g., 10mm sphere apply known force (1 to 1000g) measure size of indent after removing load d D Smaller indents mean larger hardness. increasing hardness most plastics brasses Al alloys easy to machine steels file hard cutting tools nitrided steels diamond Adapted from Fig. 6.18, Callister 6e.

  • 63. 63 • Stress and strain: These are size-independent measures of load and displacement, respectively. • Elastic behavior: This reversible behavior often shows a linear relation between stress and strain. To minimize deformation, select a material with a large elastic modulus (E or G). • Plastic behavior: This permanent deformation behavior occurs when the tensile (or compressive) uniaxial stress reaches y. • Toughness: The energy needed to break a unit volume of material. • Ductility: The plastic strain at failure.
