(Pass in Remote Measurement Lab Report)
1. What is the relationship between
a) Tensile Strength and Length
b) Tensile Strength and Cross-sectional Area
c) Compressive Strength and Length
d) Compressive Strength and Cross-sectional Area
2. How could we determine the specific relationships?
Materials Science and Engineering
Engineering Practicum Baltimore Polytechnic Institute M. Scott
Questions to answer…Why do things break?Why are some materials stronger than others?Why is steel tough, glass brittle?What is toughness, strength, brittleness?How do we quantify material properties?

Solids1. Form
– Crystals– Glasses and Ceramics– Polymers– Elastomers
2. Held together by Chemical and Physical bonds– Bonds holding atoms together
• Covalent• Ionic• Metallic
– Bonds holding molecules together• Hydrogen bonds• Van der Waals forces
Engineering Practicum Baltimore Polytechnic Institute M. Scott
1. Form2. Held together by Chemical and Physical bonds3. Atoms in equilibrium with interatomic forces at fixed
distances from other atomsCloser or farther produces different restoring forces
4. Pushes on solids cause deformation (strain) which generates reactive force (stress)
Stress, s – load / unit area. • Units: p.s.i. or Mpa
Strain, e – defrmtn / unit length. • Units: dimensionless
Solids

Solid Behavior• Elastic
Loading and unloading returns material to its original length, and can be done repeatedly – e.g. watch spring
• PlasticLarger deformations are not reversible when “elastic limit” is exceeded. Some materials are purely plastic – e.g. putty
Hooke’s Law: “As the extension, so the force”

Solid Behavior
After tensile testing:a) Brittleb) Ductilec) Completely Ductile
Examples:d) Cast Irone) Aluminumf) Putty*

Stress-Strain Curves
Engineering Practicum Baltimore Polytechnic Institute M. Scott
Stress-Strain Curves• Which curve is typical of:– A ductile material– A brittle material
Young’s Modulus is the resistance of a material to deformation

Questions we’ll answer:
1. What properties do we use to characterize materials?
2. How are those properties determined?
3. What are the parameters that affect materials in tension and compression?
4. What are the optimal sizes of tension and compression members to satisfy design requirements?
Material Properties

What is a Material Property?
1. A quantitative trait – tells us something about a material, numerically
2. They have units3. Unaffected by material form4. May be:
1. Constant 2. A function of independent variables (like
temperature)
Material Properties

Material Properties
• Physical – dimensions, density, porosity• Mechanical – strength, stiffness, hardness• Chemical – corrosion resistance, acidity or alkalinity• Thermal – conductivity, specific heat, expansion• Electric and Magnetic – conductivity, magnetic
