The characteristic of material if it breaks without plastic strain.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The material is brittle, if it breaks without plastic strain.
Explanation of Solution
When stress is applied to the specimen it deforms and changes its shape. The ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension is known as strain. The strain in material increases with the increase in stress.
The relationship between stress and strain is linear up to a point known as proportional limit after this limit the material deforms plastically. In plastic deformation the original dimensions of component cannot be achieve after removal of force.
The Brittle materials are the materials having no ductility and fails with very small deformation by application of stress. The brittle fracture if material separates or breaks the material into several distinguishable parts.
Conclusion:
Thus, the material is brittle, if it breaks without plastic strain.

- The frame of a space shuttle type vehicle must have a high yield strength and high stillness, and the most important design factor is weight. Of all the materials presented in this chapter, what material might be the most suitable for the frame of a space shuttle? Assume that there will be both tensile and compressive stresses. For a space shuttle, cost is not a limiting factor. (a) You can eliminate entire classes of materials from consideration with a brief statement about their unsuitability. (b) What material has the highest specific yield strength? Give the yield strength, specific gravity, specific yield strength, elastic modulus, and specific elastic modulus for this material. (c) What material has the highest specific elastic modulus? Give the yield strength, specific gravity, specific yield strength, elastic modulus, and specific elastic modulus for this material. (d) Compare the materials with the highest specific yield strength and highest specific elastic modulus for suitability in the space shuttle frame. (C) Discuss the suitability of the top-rated material for this design from the viewpoint of the ability to produce a frame.arrow_forwardA specimen of alloy having the following engineering stresses produces the corresponding plastic engineering strains, prior to necking: Engineering Stress (MPa) Engineering Strain 353.7 0.0357 371.3 0.0436arrow_forwardTask (3) you are asked to perform tensile test on specimens of two different materials (A and B) and you obtained the stress-strain diagram of the two specimens as shown in Figure 2: 400 350 300 250 Material A 200 150 100 50 0.02 0.04 0.06 0.08 0.1 0.12 0.14 0.16 0.18 Strain (mm/mm) 50 Material B 30 20 10 0.02 0.04 0.06 0.08 0.1 Strain (mm/mm) Figure 2: Tensile Test Analysis Stress (MPa) Stress (MPa)arrow_forward
