Chapter 6: Mechanical Properties II

Outline • Elastic recovery during plastic deformation • Compressive, shear, and torsional deformation • Hardness • Variability of material properties • Design/safety factors

Chapter 6 - 1 Concepts of stress and strain

• Tension tests – engineering stress

– engineering strain

• Compression tests

Chapter 6 - 7 Hardness • Resistance to permanently indenting the surface. • Large hardness means: --resistance to plastic deformation or cracking in compression. --better wear properties. apply known force measure size e.g., of indent after 10 mm sphere removing load

Smaller indents D d mean larger hardness.

Chapter 6 - 8 Hardness: Measurement

• Rockwell – No major sample damage – Each scale runs to 130 but only useful in range 20-100. – Minor load 10 kg – Major load 60 (A), 100 (B) & 150 (C) kg • A = diamond, B = 1/16 in. ball, C = diamond

• HB = Brinell Hardness – TS (psia) = 500 x HB – TS (MPa) = 3.45 x HB

Chapter 6 - 9 Hardness: Measurement

Chapter 6 - 10 Hardness tests (continued)

• Rockwell and superficial rockwell

• 20

Chapter 6 - Hardness tests

• Brinell: 10-mm sphere of steel or tungsten carbide • Knoop and Vickers microhardness • Hardness conversion

Chapter 6 - Correlation between hardness and tensile strength

• Relations between hardness and tensile strength for steel, brass, and cast iron. • For most steels: TS (MPa)=3.45xHB TS (psi)=500xHB

Chapter 6 - Example

• Estimate the Brinell and Rockwell hardness for brass

Chapter 6 - Errors and Measurements (lab)

Error in a scientific measurement usually does not mean a mistake or blunder. Instead, the terms "error" and "uncertainty" both refer to unavoidable imprecision in measurements.

Error analysis may seem tedious; however, without proper error analysis, no valid scientific conclusions can be drawn.

Chapter 6 - 15 Variability in Material Properties

• Elastic modulus is material property • Critical properties depend largely on sample flaws (defects, etc.). Large sample to sample variability. • Statistics

– Mean

– Standard Deviation

where n is the number of data points

Chapter 6 - 16 Example

• Determine the average and standard deviation of tensile strength

Chapter 6 - Design or Safety Factors • Design uncertainties mean we do not push the limit. • Factor of safety, N Often N is between 1.2 and 4

• Example: Calculate a diameter, d, to ensure that yield does not occur in the 1045 carbon steel rod below. Use a factor of safety of 5. d 1045 plain carbon steel: L σy = 310 MPa o 5 TS = 565 MPa

F = 220,000N d = 0.067 m = 6.7 cm Chapter 6 - 18 Summary • 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 σy. • Toughness: The energy needed to break a unit volume of material. • Ductility: The plastic strain at failure. • Hardness: Resistance to permanently indenting the surface. • Safety: Design uncertainties mean we do not push the limit
